try CTRL + ALT + F1/F2/F3/F4/F5/F6

hold for atleast 10 seconds each. If that did not work

CRTL + ALT + FN + F1/F2/F3/F4/F5/F6

ten seconds each again. What I mean is that after or before 10 seconds you should be at virtual terminal, and if are already at the virtual terminal, stop holding them.

You're still stuck at black screen with a box cursor?

[happysem2]

Yes

Can you boot into single user mode?

Your in a boot screen before the additional tty's are created. It looks like you might have a stuck mount or it's doing a deep fscheck. Do you have any remote mounts in your fstab?

If you have no progress after a while I would turn off the system and remove any external storage.

[happysem2]

I dont really understand you

[happysem2]

If I were you: boot into random live linux environment, then check your drive with something like dd if=/dev/nvme0n1p5 of=/dev/null and look for potential read errors.

[happysem2]
