So, I was trying to uninstall python from my ubuntu 20.04 So, I typed the following command

sudo apt-get remove python3

and it deleted Terminal and much other software. How can undo this?

    Many tools of Ubuntu require python3 to be installed; so if you remove them - those packages (eg. GUI terminal) will cannot run (as it requires or depends on python3 being installed). You can still use text terminals, but you'll find many things no longer work. (you may not be able to use apt & user front-end tools; but dpkg & basic tools will still function). Restoration of backups, or re-install (without format) work too. – guiverc Nov 11 '21 at 11:35

Best and recommended way is to backup /home and reinstall latest version of ubuntu or LTS release

If you wana try some things

This issue is already solved here (Exactly here )

As the answers state

First open a tty

ctrl + alt + f5

Login with your sudo account

Then run the following commands

sudo apt install *python3-all*
# downloads all python 3 things again

sudo apt install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop^


Downloads all the default softwares back


sudo apt-get update


update


sudo apt-get upgrade


upgrade


sudo apt install gnome-terminal


Get the default gui terminal back


sudo apt install gnome-software


Get the software app back
