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.

Good to know! I need to set that up next time, the whole system was unresponsive when I took the photo.
In that case it should be in your logs. I believe the default is /var/log/dmesg.log*, depending on how many rotations have occured since the error
Lol I checked the system journal but forgot to check if the dmesg los is being written 😹 thanks for the reminder, going to take a look later today
