Nano ftw
Vim user here. The only way to exit vim is to pray to the Vim gods and sacrifice your first born, hoping that they’ll cause a cosmic ray to hit the right spot in the memory to flip the right bit that causes it to exit. There are no alternatives.
I usually just power-cycle the machine
Are you guys serious? Command q. or x. or wq. or use a proper fucking terminal so you can ctrl -z and resume.
These is one of the oldest Linux memes. No, they aren’t serious. I have a hard time believing anyone here doesn’t actually know how to exit vim properly.

You power cycle the machine, then run
apt-get update && apt-get install nano
