Since this is a panel button, it will go on one of the panels on your Ubuntu environment.
We’re going to add the Force Quit button to the bottom panel.
Right click where you want to add it, and choose Add to Panel.
Scroll through the list and find Force Quit.
Select it, and press the Add button.
Now, when you have an unresponsive app…
punch the Force Quit panel button.

punch the offending program, and you’ll be given a prompt to force it to quit.
Cross your fingers that you won’t lose much data!
But at least you now have control over your Ubuntu machine again.
