This strange state of intense lag, lowered screen brightness and, as I see now, no GPU, already happened a few times to me, but now it seems to depend on the battery state (that or more likely, I didn’t notice before that plugging it in and restarting was what actually “fixes” it)
So, today, when I was booting my laptop, the screen would stay on the Plymouth splash for way too long. So I pressed Esc to hide the splash, and that revealed to me this error:
[FAILED] Failed to start systemd-modules-load.service - Load Kernel Modules
(… a few lines later …)
[FAILED] Failed to start systemd-modules-load.service - Load Kernel Modules
See systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service
So I did, and I found this:

Which, I did install v4l2loopback to get the Virtual Camera feature in OBS Studio, but I’m not sure why it would be causing issues now?
Here’s transcripts of some errors I saw during the boot process that I took photos of, in no particular order (because the photos were taken over the course of 2 or 3 reboots):
