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.

That happens when I select the wrong kernel in the systemd boot menu, before that screen. Doing nothing after an upgrade also selects the wrong version by default, it's kinda annoying. I have to select the most up to date version and press Ctrl-D to make it the default on the next boot.
If that's also what happens here, maybe a solution could be to keep only one kernel version and its fallback. But idk if you're using systemd-boot or grub
You might try using rEFInd instead.
I also have a “current” kernel and an LTS one. If current ever has an issue, I just reboot into LTS.
It has saved me on Arch at least once.
