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.

The dmesg logs show boot logs also from previous boots. It has timestamps. After a system freeze, try to reboot and issue sudo dmesg -T and look for the timestamp near the time of crash, is there anything suspicious?
Ahh so dmesg pretty much only collects info regarding kernel crashes or whatever? Do they usually retain stuff from the prior day or two? I haven't used my laptop much today, so no new crashes
Yes dmesg prints out kernel messages and it resets every boot. So any driver crashes etc should be there. https://superuser.com/questions/565927/differences-in-var-log-syslog-dmesg-messages-log-files
