Linux Mint is booted and installing now.
Question:
Is there a process monitor like in windows?

Htop?
Pull up duck.ai and ask questions for speed
Try btop. apt install btop. If you run it with sudo you can kill processes that are misbehaving
Most likely. Ubuntu has one.
`htop` is a popular command line tool for it in an interactive way. You may need to install it.
`ps` is the more standard tool for listing processes in a non interactive way. See `man ps` for usage. `kill` is the command to stop processes.
There may be something graphical these days but why?
I definitely see the case for no graphical interface for some of these things for sure. Seems like wasted resources, even though, I'm used to that.
I just don't do much in a GUI unless it really is central to the way the application works. Browser, and sadly discord are the two GUI applications I use much of. I'd put discord in an irssi session where it belongs if only the interface for such a thing were usable. Chatting by gif also does somewhat have its place -- but we had ASCII art which scratched a similar itch on irc.
GUI apps often have an easier learning curve but command line things are usually easier to streamline, automate, and only give the screen economy they deserve.
