I have a very strange problem. I've had some bugs with the default gnome version of ubuntu and yesterday it broke completely, unable to boot. Nothing was actually lost though because of internet and external storage. Reinstalling it from USB worked at first but upon trying to update some software when prompted to, the restart would leave my screen black it wouldn't boot by any method. So I decided to install kubuntu finally, and had the exact same problem despite that they occupied separate install disks and each time the installs would format and replace all content on the SSD. This seems like a firmware problem since it happens irrespective of the SSD's contents, but I'm not sure. Ever since I tried ubuntu first I had a somewhat similar situation. Powering on or restarting would lead to an infinite ASUS logo screen, but I always got into ubuntu easily through the UEFI menu by holding ESC immediately, so it wasn't a real issue. That's been a thing since my 1st day of linux. But the new problem is a far worse version of that one where instead, I can't load any part of the OS by any method on regular gnome ubuntu, and on KDE. At least the UEFI still works tho.
