Hi. After a long time away from Linux I'll be asking some

I have just installed the KDE Spin of FC27 to a four-year-old Lenovo
G510 laptop, with a 120GB drive installed. Dring bootup I'm seeing
messages about hardware failures. They don't linger long enough to
write them down, and boot.log appears to be empty (unless that's because
I'm logged in as user, not root). They mention
You can use journalctl to look at messages (things have changed since
you last used Linux presumably). Try 'journalctl -k -b' to see kernel
messages since the most recent boot.

How desperate is this? Is it really telling me it's time to ditch that
laptop?
Haven't seen those so I can't comment. However the kernel does tend to
tell you about things you can't do anything about and aren't really a
problem, e.g. I get a bunch of messages saying:
ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20170831/psargs-364)
It's known bug that's been around for ages but doesn't seem to affect
anything.
