I'm not sure if this is the best community to post in, but I just bought a used computer and slotted in an RX480 as the GPU. I installed KDE Neon 5.27 on it, and it worked flawlessly for 2 days.
Then, even though it was working earlier today, it slept and then would not wake up. So I turned off the power and turned it back on again, and was greeted with this error screen:
The only prior error message I'd gotten from the system was when I tried to install wine for one application, it told me some packages weren't up to date, without a way to fix it. I can enter the BIOS just fine.
What is going on? How do I fix this?
None of what's visible helps identifying the error. Try
journalctl -xbas suggested it might show more relevant informationEdit: oops should've been joirnalctl instead of journal
I tried to do that, and it couldn't find the journal package. So I tried to install it, but apt, flatpak, nor snap could find the package to install.
I doubt other init systems can make the screen bigger so that the vital part of the kernel log is still on screen, but be my guest to prove me wrong 🙄

It's a kernel thing.
Read the messages on the screen. It's telling you how to check the logs for the error
Have you tried booting in with a live usb? You might be able to do some sort of recovery from there.
Having said, I’m still very much a Linux noob.
