This is the Magic Sysrq Key,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key and it's available in
Fedora, as in AFAIK all distros. Please read the section on configuring
it, as I'm not sure if it's set up by default.
I'm pretty sure it's not set up by default (at least it wasn't last time
I looked, which is admittedly a while back). Unfortunately that means
that the first time you think about enabling it is when the system is
frozen ...
