Well, you don't give us much to go on, but my first thought was dmesg, which I guess translates to journalctl -k. You will also see other messages if you look at the user side with --user. I think the gui runs on the user side, not the system side.
If you aren't seeing anything, I would check to see how you are configed and if you are trying to start a gui and/or run startx, or similar, manually and see what happens.
I assume you are running X and not Wayland. I don't know anything about Wayland and I understand it is still a bit limited and buggy.
I checked the fedora docs and it looks like I can run the following command.
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/configuring-x-window-system-...
``` Xorg :1 -configure ```
I feel sort of dumb because I am not exactly familiar with the details on Wayland. I remember digging into Xorg back in the day and the Wayland stuff just seemed to work. Except, that doesn't quite seem to be the case with older Nvidia cards.
I will check the `journalctl -k`. I was checking `journalctl -xe` and I didn't see anything... This could explain why!
