Well, I added back the repository for the legacy Nvidia drivers and things seemed to work again, graphics showed the gpu being recognized, go to reboot and there is another issue, but different. An all white screen with a sad computer and a message that says:
"Oh no! Something went wrong."
"A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please contact a systen administrator."
Might be another kernel conflict, I thinknI might try and work on this myself for a bit to see I can't determine the issue.
