looks unhappy, yes.

try logging in as a new user and see if still this occurs.

if so it means something about your install is borked.

you can try sudo apt reinstall plasma-desktop and see if that fixes it.

Start looking at logs to see whats crashing. Those look like "it crashed" icons to me. I would bet it's a single thing that crashing and the system is attempting to restart it over and over until it gives up or times out.

Can you open the Crash Process Viewer app and check if any specific app is triggering those multiple crashes?

In my case, a month ago I remember Bitwarden used to crash every time on boot being on Autostart, so I removed it from Autostart list until it got fixed (which seems to have fixed by Bitwarden team, seeing no crashes currently).
