Blank Pink Screen after Choosing User in Ubuntu 20.04 after Upgrade
After running sudo apt upgrade and restarting, I would not be able to enter my password after choosing the user in the login manager. I would just be greeted by a blank pink screen. I would be able to go into the gui after timeshift restore, but find it very annoying that everytime my firefox profiles and my pip packages would just be lost. I have tried multiple methods, which include changing my nvidia driver to nouveau drivers, rolling down the kernel version, or going into recovery mode to boot. None of these would work. I have currently held the kernel from updating, though I would wish to receive the newest most secure updates. I am out of my wits and would be beyond grateful if someone can help me with my problem
Edit: It appears that I am able to login with a test user. But most of my files are on my previous user profile, and I do not at all want to switch users.

It was a corrupted install of howdy that interfered with user login causing the failure to login to my user. I found this issue after trying another test user and it was successful.
