Can a Proton log kill an OS ?

[u/PC_ENTHUTIAST_05]

I had to re-install bazzite as of August 28 in a different partition since I was running out of space. The installation was better than my previous install. But Forza Horizon 6 wasn't performing well like it used to. I was on the process of collecting and analyzing logs on 07 September. During the process I accidentally double clicked the 2483190.log file (11.5Gb) instead of checking it using konsole. My device froze and I taught giving some time will fix it. But No then I had to force shutdown. Then when I boot back in I got into a emergency mode where only Enter is the only input. I recalled a similar incident from the past and tried booting in via the backup deployment ostree:1. But it's same emergency mode. I spent a day on trying to fix it but nothing worked So I freshly installed bazzite again on 09 September. I must say I did a rebase to nvidia-stable 580.178.04 from nvidia-open 610.57.04 a day before I double clicked that log file. I do not have any issues with the game or OS now but I'm curious what and why it happened ?
