So like I was trying to install Davinci resolve (an editing program) and while doing so it basically said “removing” followed by that appears to be everything installed on my computer

So I nope right out of there and I notice a bunch of important things are missing ex: the terminal, file manager, etc

So I just decided Maybe if I reboot everything will be a ok

And now on this screen and it won’t even let me enter my logic

This was the latest update of Kubuntu And idk what I did wrong or how I got here

I’ve only been using Kubuntu for probably about 4 months ish

Edit: please help

Edit 2: I got it working by reinstalling Kubuntu as suggested, Thank you for the help :>

    Thanks for clarifying!

    That’s pretty strong language

    I agree. But in this case it was 100% justified as OP just (hopefully reversibly) destroyed their installation.

    and what I was responding to.

    Thanks for properly nuancing my stance. Though, perhaps consider to do so right away next time 😜.

    Perhaps you were being hyperbolic.

    It was deliberate. But I wouldn’t refer to it as hyperbolic. Perhaps more in the style of an elder sibling scolding their younger sibling to be better next time 😉. Apologies if I missed the mark, though.

      I agree. But in this case it was 100% justified as OP just (hopefully reversibly) destroyed their installation.

      And yet they did so using the package manager. They just installed a apt.source that they shouldn’t have. THAT I would say one should not do unless one really knows what they are doing. If they had just installed some .appimage or compiled something from source they would have been fine.

      And yet:

      So… I’m not going to nuance your stance if it shouldn’t be nuanced. It’s a bit up to you to be clear about your nuance. And in this case you’re being very ambiguous about it.
