Which version of linux - SL7, SL8 or Fedora ?
Do you know whether you are running X or Wayland ?

You should be able to get a console - text only - login by typing
 	ctrl-alt-f1
(you need to press them in that order, but hold ctrl and alt
while you type f1).

There may be clues in logfiles like
 	/var/log/X11/Xorg.0.log
especially lines with (EE), and
 	~/.xsession-errors

Clues are likely to be towards the bottom of these files.
