I have found a solution, please follow the solution below, but before removing anything recursively that is rm -r make sure to copy those folder contents if you have any personal data like desktop files, icons, symlinks, etc.


Use the — apt update && apt full-upgrade -y .

  • It will install some additional packages.

Use — rm -r .config .cache .local

  • Reboot a couple of times, sometimes it might not boot up and end up in initramfs, just type help, and force shutdown
  • On next reboot, it should boot properly.

Some taskbar icons will be gone, but the system seems stable and reboot sustains the user settings like wallpaper, desktop files etc.
