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'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?

Almost everything you said is mere brochureware perpetuated by a tribe stronger than the vi mafia.

Sysvinit starts fast, starts well, and doesn't try to control mounts, cron, Getty, and everything else.

The"but it retries things" whine was a solved problem in 2001. So easy.

The EL6 machines I have in storage start faster than the el7 machines joining them. PCLinuxOS is a very valid non-systemd system that only lacks a documented kickstart emulant.
