Two ways to view onscreen:

dmesg | less
journalctl -b

Their content can be written to plain text file of your choice of name:

journalctl -b > somefile1.txt
dmesg > somefile2.txt

The content of dmesg and journal largely overlaps, but is not identical.

If journal is configured to be persistent, then the journal of prior boots can be
accessed by appending a prior boot number after -b, such as -4. Without -b, you
get all boots that the journal contains.
