…or two. I forcibly installed snap on my mint os. I also tried to manually remove flatpaks.

Not sure if snap affected this, but when I log in I get some error message saying : unable to launch “cinnamon-session-cinnamon” X session - - - “cinnamon-session-cinnamon” not found; falling back to default session.

Then it goes to a blank screen.

Timeshift, and try again?

You can timeshift from the terminal, unless you really hosed it

sudo timeshift --restore
