[Solved] New Ubuntu update just wiped out my enitre drive

I don't usually update, but today I opened Xubuntu and the update manager popped up, so I clicked to install - it was just a 13 MB update. After updating, I opened Floorp and started seeing that all my icons at the taskbar, everything, started disappearing. It's like I did "sudo rm -rf"! I'm not even mad. I always wanted to try EndeavourOS, and now Xubuntu has given me the opportunity to install it. Now downloading the EndeavourOS ISO and will install KDE on it. Enough rant/vent for now - REAL QUESTION: can anyone tell me how to theme GTK-based GNOME apps on KDE?

I'm confused... is your "entire drive" wiped or no?
- No just /dev/sda2 partition Others are safe

You can select GTK themes under:
System Settings > Colors & Themes > Application Style > Configure GNOME/GTK Application Style
For Flatpaks you need to run
pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-kde xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
Support is limited tho.
- Thanks

Since you're on Endeavor, now, the Arch wiki is definitely your friend. Good luck! Hope you love it!
- Thanks, Cool now I have a wiki.

Also Universe is really testing me lately.

Was Floorp installed as a flatpak? I once had my file system corrupted after installing or updating a flatpak browser.
- No, PPA. I am still not sure what actually wiped my data but it happen just after update. But Thanks
