Fedora has crashed twice no in a short time for non-events like closing a console window. Is there a way to analyze this for the root cause? I run browsers an email programm, and indeed a console window without much else and is kept up to date automatically.

Yep; you’ll need to locate the crash entries in journalctl for the boots which crashed, if indeed there are any!

It depends on how hard the system failed whether the last part of the journal was flushed to disk.

You might also have entries in the “crashed process viewer” which indicate what failed and possibly why.
