Before the power button
If even Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn’t work, use the SAK. Hold down Alt-PrintScreen (this is the SysRq key combo), and while holding down those keys, press the letters ‘S’ to sync the disks, then ‘U’ to unmount the filesystems and ‘B’ to reboot the computer. Always try that before going for the power button. It’s a bit awkward to do all that while holding Alt-PrintScreen, but it’s not something you’ll do often
