Besides compiz on XFCE, MX also has xfdashboard in its own repo:
xfdashboard provides a GNOME shell dashboard and macOS Mission Control (Exposé and Spaces) like interface for use with the Xfce desktop. It can be configured to run with any keyboard shortcut and when executed provides an overview of applications currently open enabling the user to switch between different applications. The search feature works like Xfce's app finder which makes it convenient to search for and start applications.

Unlike compiz, it does not have its own built-in hotcorners for activating xfdashboard by mouse.
I copy over bunsenlab's bl-hotcorners to get that functionality.

I would have issued "sudo /sbin/reboot" or "sudo /sbin/halt" from a new tty instead.
What if your keyboard was unresponsive when the system froze?
I would see if unplugging it and plugging it back in would get it reconnected. If not, then I would press the restart button on my tower
to trigger the BIOS to restart the machine but I wouldn't long press the power button.

xfdashboard is kinda cool esp since I only use one desktop. Thanks for the tip guys.

I believe this topic has run its course as well as headed south of its intention. Locking it
