From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I am running Fedora KDE 40 alongside Windows 11 23H2, (the PC in question is also sometimes used by a few other family members, which is the reason I still have Windows) When I tried restarting into Fedora today, everything appeared fine, I selected the normal boot fedora option in GRUB, and the normal loading screen showed up. to be then followed by the cursor appearing for a while before it simply disappears, the screen goes black & turns back on stuck on a screen which is completely black with a terminal-like cursor in the very top left, It will then stay stuck thet way until you forcibly turn off the power. This hasn't happened before. I tried a live boot and checked the partition... It dosen't seem any different than normal. One thing I did notice is that yesterday on the login screen the sleep and restart option where bugged out, but I wouldn't think that's relevant? Can anyone help. I'm not sure what could be happening.

EDIT: here are some pics of the logs, I still dont know why this happened or really what to do, I'm still fairly new to this

Are you using the rpm-fusion mesa drivers or Fedora's (assuming you use Intel / AMD card)?

You can connect to wifi via tty using nmcli command: nmcli --ask dev wifi connect CoolNetwork123

Or you can use nmtui if you prefer a graphical frontend
