18 hours agoAlright I took a look, and all I see are text files of only a few of the apps, nothing else is present as far as I’m seeing right now, and in them there’s only a single command of text, all of them are different. Is that normal?

That’s definitely handy, gonna bookmark that stuff somewhere for later on, thx! Though I’m not the best with technical stuff or big ol’ manuals, and right now I sorta don’t have the time or energy to sift through all of it, just wanna fix this issue real quick if possible so I can continue with my day.
I did check the var lib override folder, nothings there strangely, no hidden files or anything even, completely blank. Scrolled down with the man 1 command in the terminal, also nothings there, what am I looking out for here? Are the overrides gone? Is this a different issues now or? Said something about X server missing when running an app through the terminal, what do I do about that?
I do have flatseal and do use it, but it’s a flatpak so I can’t launch it right now.
Didn’t work sadly, still nothings launches and still gives me the same error in the command line.
Like I said there’s literally nothing in the text files but a single line of text, each application only has one and it’s different for each. Some have filesystems=host-etc;host-os, some have something else, and again there’s only a few applications here, not everything, and the selection is also very random, some of these are applications I haven’t used in a while, really weird.
Tried that yeah, didn’t do anything at all. X11 is definitely installed, I checked, and all the flatpaks only ran in x11 mode before all of this regardless of what settings I changed through flatseal or command line, so no idea what’s going on then. Did I bork flatpak somehow?
EDIT: okay I think I’m just gonna use timeshift, get everything working-ish again, back up whatever I can over a few days, and either install a whole new distro or install a new version of Kubuntu and not tweak anything anymore, I think the things really screwed up after that broken install ordeal, no idea what’s going on.
Do you know if it’s possible to install a new version of Kubuntu via a live USB without wiping everything, including important data, out? If not, what’s the second best option? Can I drag and drop some folders to perserve my applications and their data and stuff? Is there a tool for all of that? Let me know! Would be appreciated!
