From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It'll basically the systemd logging system, it can print out all the system messages, you can get it to output a given time period or a particular service, handy for seeing what's going on from multiple services at once, something that might look like graphics issue might actually be something completely different causing a problem, should give you a few more threads to pull to hopefully resolve the issue.
