Logout button=gnome-session-quit

Of course yank'in out the power cable works flawlessly or pressing the power.button for a while works.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Keyboa … el_(SysRq) might be usefull

Does 'systemctl reboot' work?
Can you change tty (Ctrl+alt+f*?)
Journal?

… "for a while", then your data is toast.

I suppose the OP meant "though", not "tough"
(Hopefully)

But

is very relevant.
