Only the purple display and the cursor remain visible.
During the initial launches, the system displays only the Ubuntu purple theme with a movable mouse cursor—no clickable elements. You can access the terminal via ALT-F2 and run journalctl. The errors appear in yellow or red, though many yellows are present; it’s unclear which ones matter most. Focus on identifying recurring yellow entries related to critical issues.
Check your actions between restarts. Did you install or update any packages, especially drivers?
There seems to be a recent change. I spotted an issue with the bluez service, so I removed that package and turned off Bluetooth, yet the same problems persist. Below are the errors I've recorded so far (still compiling, many more).

I'm joking around, I really don't know what I'm doing. I have two computers, and the Ubuntu one shares the same screen as the other, but it also has its own display. The shared monitor is the main one on Ubuntu, yet it's currently hidden since I'm using the other PC. As a result, I only saw a blank screen because the other monitor had the login screen. I didn't realize I was using both monitors for the Ubuntu machine.
