    Does ctrl-alt-f1 (or 2, 3, …) do anything?

    Does ctrl alt delete do anything?

    What distro and version are you using? Which drivers did you update and how did you update them?

    What distro are you using? Which deivers did you update? What hardware do you have? nvidia gou? etc. Definitely first try going into different tty with ctrl-alt-f2 or f3 etc.

        it is a text based environment of you OS, you can switch between multiple text based environments. if your graphical environment is just black, but the OS is still active you should be able to switch to another text based environment using that key combo (ctrl-alt-f2 or f3 or f4 etc.) from there you can potentially roll back the driver, view system logs to troubleshoot, etc.
