It lets you switch to another terminal session, where you can use something like top/htop for a commandline equivalent to task manager.
That’s what I don’t get about what they said above. If the Windows desktop freezes up, Task Manager won’t open either (happened to me quite some times over the years - less so since they moved to the NT kernel though). What you mentioned always works short of kernel panic.
It definitely creeps up every once in a while on my Windows computer. It’s really not a common occurrence and only happens when I’m doing something that’s not recommended.

I’d say it’s been over a decade since I’ve had an issue where windows task manager didn’t work. Maybe I’m not using exciting enough programs.
