Does Windows Task Manager run on Linux?
Verdict: No
No. Task Manager is part of Windows and does not exist on Linux, but Linux systems come with their own monitor showing the same processes, memory and disk activity, and it can close a stuck app too.
Microsoft describes Task Manager as the built-in way to monitor how apps and processes are performing and what resources they are using, with tabs for processes, performance, users and startup items. It is part of Windows, so there is nothing to install on Linux.
The Linux equivalent is already there. GNOME systems call it System Monitor, KDE systems call it System Monitor as well, and both list running programs with their memory and processor use, and let you end a program that has stopped responding. Mission Center is a free alternative that looks much closer to the Windows Task Manager, with the same style of graphs for processor, memory, disk and network.
Two habits change. Ctrl, Alt and Delete does not open a task manager, so you find the monitor in the applications menu, or set a keyboard shortcut for it. And the startup tab has no direct equivalent, because startup programs are managed in your system settings instead.
Programs freeze much less often on Linux than on Windows, so most people open this far less than they expect to.
What to use instead of Windows Task Manager
This doesn't have to stop you
One stubborn program doesn't have to decide the whole question. You can keep Windows on the same PC and restart into it only when you need Windows Task Manager. Everything else you do can move.
