Suddenly after an update, I was unable to install anything or any updates.
I've tried to figure out what was causing it, I am not sure where the issue is but I would like to be able to install any updates.
After this issue happens I am able to go into the terminal by pressing alt+f2 and recently I found that I can get into the OS using the command startx but this is in some sort of limited graphics mode as it only covers 1 of my monitors, and the resolution is not right.
Before I've had issues when starting KDE (like a wallpaper not loading, or no DE at all basically) and have been able to solve that with restarting plasma,
I would do this using killall plasmashell and then plasmashell but this didn't work and got this error:
qt.qpa.xcb could not connect to display.
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimallegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb
fish: Job 1, 'plasmashell' terminated by signal SIGABRT (Abort)
not sure if this is relevant, but I'm just trying to give all the information I have
While trying to figure out what could be causing it, I also found that initramfs had some issues, I am not sure if it actually has issues, or it's something else.
I am kind of out of options and don't know what to do, is anyone able to help me?

I've removed some ppa's, not sure if I'm doing it correctly, but I don't think it solves it, I'm also not sure which I will need to keep to keep my system working
here's a list of the available updates that I have, So I assume that one of them is causing the problem
Available updates
After removing most PPA's I do get a more normal system update screen, with the kubuntu logo and loading updates xx%
but after that is done I get an error saying:
[1.241888] nvme 0000:04:00.0: AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT domain=0x0017 address=0xfedfb000 flags=0x0000]
I assume I'm getting closer to resolving it, but it might just be a weird combination of multiple problems?
