You might consider changing the runlevel to avoid the GUI until you
sort out your problems.

* multi-user.target - non-gui, like on a server
* graphical.target - gui, like on a desktop
* rescue.target - does not start non-essential services

A typical command would be `sudo systemctl set-default
multi-user.target` followed by `sudo systemctl reboot`.

After you get your problems sorted out, perform some of the
post-upgrade tasks at
<https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-offline/#sect-optional-post-upgrade-tasks>.
