I have been facing this issue since yesterday, but basically at some point the system becomes insanely slow, and the restart and shutdown options disappear from the menu, tty3-7 dont work, it freezes at the shutdown -now command(at which point I just manually cut the power(bad Idea I know)),
but today I stuck around as my system got insanely borked, eventually freezing up and giving me the screen above. the problem shows up after I wake it up from suspend but not always: My system specs:
OS: Fedora Linux 41 (Workstation Edition) x86_64

here are the journalctl entries that I think are relevant
entries for events 40 min before that.
and this is from when it happened earlier in the day
What about dmesg? if it’s a hardware problem (and it looks like, but I may wrong) dmesg will print some usefull data
I tried sysrq then, now i know why it didn’t work
sysrq: This sysrq operation is disabled.
nothing useful in dmesg, at least to me
Looks like SysRq keys are not enable in your distro by default, don’t know the reason but Fedora kernel devs would known better than me.
Just for curious, did you installed some gnome extension recently? try this
grep -i gnome-shell /var/log/syslog* | grep -i exten
there are gnome extensions but they were installed over a year ago and have been disabled for more than 6 months
grep: /var/log/syslog*: No such file or directory
I am getting this error but yes there were some JS errors that I attribute to extensions like
JS ERROR: TypeError: this.actor is null
