[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
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
Also Universe is really testing me lately.

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.
