Here is the story:

I was on Ubuntu 18.04 with the default configuration and display manager. Then it froze so I pulled the plug by holding down the power button.

After that it would boot normally and the log in screen showed up, I entered my credentials and then the screen went blank.

I searched for a solution. And I fiddled around with many commands and I switched display managers, I tried lightdm but I didn't like it so I switched to gdm3 which supposedly was the default and it worked but after I did sudo reboot it went straight to the boot process and it shows lubuntu in blue, how do I switch it back because now it's super slow User Interface.

Please help, thanx!

Try installing Gnome desktop with the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell ubuntu-gnome-desktop

Don't forget to choose lightDM during the installation process. Once it's complete, restart your machine. Login to the gnome Desktop. Remove LXDE.

sudo apt remove lubuntu* lxde* openbox lightdm
sudo apt autoremove
sudo reboot

Also if you want to remove apps that were installed, you can do so from Ubuntu software, Terminal, or install Synaptic and remove the files from there.
