Yesterday I turned on my computer to boot F42 after an overnight

Then the underscore showed steady, and the booting got no further. Ten
times I shut it down with the Power button and waited for it to reboot,
with the same result.

Edit the grub entry to remove "quiet rhgb", then see what the last
messages are when it gets stuck.
It used to be, that if you hit TAB or ESCAPE when things were just
starting to boot Linux up (perhaps hitting that key a few times), that
the graphical boot screen that's hiding everything swapped over to
showing the textual display showing everything that was going on under
the hood until a desktop greeter login screen (GDM, KDM, etc) became
available. No actual editing of anything required (as long as they
keyboard had been noticed).
That's only partial. It's the equivalent of removing "rhgb" from the
command line. It shows you the services starting up, but "quiet" still
hides all the kernel log messages which might be relevant in this case.
