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've recently got my PC up and running again but today it's rebooted randomly twice. What could this be a sign of? All advice is welcomed and appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Huh, nothing super jumps out to me as an obvious tell, but the last bit is talking about some weird stuff with NTFS. Do you have a drive with Windows or formatted by Windows mounted maybe? Something could be up with that drive, or if you're using it for something important to the system that could be a problem. You can just follow the recommendation in the log and use chkdsk on it but that could potentially be destructive to the data on the drive so be careful and make backups if needed.
