Hey guys I kind of have a little probleme here:

So during the upgrading of Mint 21.3 to Mint 22 there appeared some errors, and while trying to fix them a lot of library-packages were deleted and most of the programs gone.

Now after that I tried to reset my system back to tze last timeshift-backup but timeshift only ever deleted more packages and never installed the old files from the backup (i guess).

So now this is where I am at, a kernel panic and nothing boots. I guess i need a new (fresh) install and could try to use the backup of timeshift on that one?

Or is there any other elegant way to get out of this?

Thanks already for reading and tips <3

My laptop was in the other room upgrading while i read this. Gave me a heartattack for a second haha.

Everything went fine on my end, but it does look like a bad state it was left in. Got it resolved or...?
