## Frozen desktop
If the desktop is frozen and `ctrl+alt+f*` don't work to change to a TTY, [the magic SysRq key](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/sysrq.html) with `r` can be used to swich input in raw mode, so the kernel will handle the tty switch key binding. /etc/sysctl.conf` or `/etc/sysctl.d` may need to be edited first to set `kernel.sysrq=1` or another value that allows this command.

It is also possible to connect over `ssh` from another computer.
Then `pidof cosmic-comp` can be used to get the PID of the compositor. Then it is possible to investigate further with tools like `gdb`, using `sudo gdb` then `attach <pid>`.
