From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You mention timeshift, did you restore to the working snapshot after selecting it in grub, then reboot AGAIN?
Booting a snapshot, does not restore from it. When booting a snapshot from grub, you need to open timeshift, restore the snapshot, then boot up a second time (this time without selecting it in grub).
Otherwise, you didn't really restore it, you just booted into it, and if you re-attempted the broken update, messed the snapshot up, too (leaving you with no working snapshot to go back to).
