I have a dual boot setup with Windows 11 and Kubuntu 23.10. My laptop is a Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 16ACH6 (model with GeForce RTX 3050).

I tried to remove all NVIDIA drivers because my battery drains much faster on Kubuntu than on Windows, and I understood that the issue might be related to the graphics card.

I simply used the remove command (and then autoremove afterward) with the NVIDIA wildcard indicated here: How can I uninstall a nvidia driver completely ?

However, after rebooting, I encounter ACPI errors, and the OS refuses to start, even if I add acpi=off and noapic to the grub options.

I tried booting into recovery mode and then booting normally from recovery. It works, but when I reach my desktop, none of my devices work (Wi-Fi, trackpad, Bluetooth, etc.). So, I'm unable to connect to the internet to perform an apt upgrade.

When I run ifconfig, I only see "lo" displayed.

I'm not sure what to do anymore. I don't have an Ethernet port on my PC, and even with a Type-C adapter, I don't have the eth0 interface available.

Any ideas? I feel like it also removed all the drivers for my devices...

Have you tried booting into terminal only?
In grub options there is a line starting with linux, add a number 3 to the end of the line to boot into level 3 (terminal only, no graphics)(keep acpi=off and noapic) and let the device boot.
Better instructions: How to boot into command line?
You should end up in a login shell with your default network settings applied and you can also change the settings, after logging in, to connect to the internet.
Configure WiFi Connections
