I am using Ubuntu latest version (currently I believe 22.10 with latest build, I update periodically)

Recently,I got too absent minded while I was fixing some error, and after spent couple of hours trying t resolve this issue, I was not thinking at all I guess, went ahead and deleted this X11 folder inside the system /bin folder, and to make things worse, I rebooted the system. that was the last time I saw my computer intact.

since I have 1Gb or storage, I installed another Ubuntu alingside the "corrupted" Ubuntu that I've been using for years.

I was wondering if there is a way to copy some of the needed folders/files from this new one, put into the old one, and resurrect that system again.

PS: the /dev/sha3 is the corrupted system, and I installed /dev/sda4 as temp system to see if I can still save the old system.

 all of my problems started when I deleted that X11 folder (without knowing X11 was symlinked to /bin )

can someone kindly, show me the way to restore the old system, and after restored and tested that it's okay, how to safely remove this new temp system, and re-allocate the storage back to the old system.

I tried to be as clear and provide as much details as possible, please feel free to ask below, I will update this post or answer to your question to by best ability.

Thank you very much!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
