When I try to open a shell (Terminal, Gnome Console, or a TTY) and log in, I just get an empty window and a blinking cursor. It used to work fine, until the most recent update. Is there a way to start a terminal in a sort of safe mode so I can at least check the logging or debug the problem?

If the default installation comes with powerlevel10k as a theme for zsh and the issue is somehow related to NordVPN, this is something to look into: Prompt freezes with recent NordVPN version — p10k_nordvpn prompt segment hangs opened 12:11…

Terminal and Console no longer starting
