Do you have any timeshift backups from before that?

#

If yes, boot from a live pen (with Linux mint), then open timeshift on the live mode of Linux mint and restore to that period. After that reboot the system

summer quarry

#

From the messages it seems to be updating the kernel and nvidia drivers, the drivers probably didn't finish updating the last time, reason why you had the issue

#

#

should i reboot i have a way to get the PC running if its still broken

#

If the update has finished you can reboot and see if it works, try to boot with the most recent version of the 6.5 kernel (which was updated) to see if it works
