Librem 14 just Stoped

I was watching some subversive content on bitcute at the time. I had just posted a congratulation and dragged a link to alt.censored to toolbar.
Everything froze. Mouse would not move, no key responded. Off button would not work.
It’s running down battery atm. Hopefully will re power when flat.
I’m running Mint.
I had a bad feeling about a recent update, Intel micro codes and ignored.
Could that be cause?
Or did Big Brother get me?

Have you tried unplugging, removing the battery, and booting it back up after that?

If you do get back in, running journalctl -b -1 and looking towards the end might give you some idea what crashed. That would be the log from your last boot.

Perhaps but hard to say without knowing more. If your PC booted and was running up until this point, I kinda doubt it.

Do you have reason to suspect this? IF not, then I doubt this as well.
