sudo apt-get purge .... destroys dependencies and ubuntu desktop needs it (i think so...)
So try running:
sudo apt install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
to solve this problem.
It has worked for me (for now haha) but it was also helpful running sudo apt-get install --reinstall pythonVERSION to reinstall everything that is needed.
(for me was python3.10, just look for it after reinstalling the desktop running /usr/bin/python3 and check which version you need)
For the author of this manual there is a separate cauldron in hell.
Is there no way to report this person or something?
I can see he was active 12 minutes ago, which means he does see these comments, and still keeping this post.
There is something seriously wrong with your brain.
next time, i will read the comments before reading the post :D because i just destroyed my distribution

as said above, command
sudo apt install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop fixes the problem. But you need an automatic Internet connection, as it can be difficult to set up through the console

That lone command will not restore everything that was removed. It will only restore ubuntu-desktop and its dependencies! You'll need to make an install script out of everything that got removed.
For example on my machine I'd have to run the following. It will be different for everyone, because it depends what you had installed.

When you are uninstalling python3 it will tell you every package that will also be removed. That's how you build your reinstall script - just copy everything into a single line, then add sudo apt install in front.
Of course this is after you reinstall python.
OMG you are a mfcker. I got my VM almost completely destroyed but i got to recover it. You are a piece of crap.
I just broke my father SO AHAHHAHHAHAHA OOOOOOOOO NO
this page is still up 🤣
The Great Filter be like:
OK ... NOT ALL OF YOU KNOW THIS...
PYTHON IS USED EXTENSIVELY IN MOST LINUX DISTROS, ESPECIALLY IN GUI/DESKTOP
DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOUR INTENT IS TO REINSTALL PYTHON IMMEDIATELY AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING !!!!!!!!!!!
@jugal-sheth NOW THAT'S VALUE ADDING!!!
I spoiled my ubuntu. Please remove this message
This page should be removed! The commands are destructive and achieve absolutely nothing. Removing Python 3 as it is described above will render your machine unusable. I tested the above commands on VirtualBox machine and it damaged the machine beyond repair. Luckily I had a backup. Again, DON'T USE THE ABOVE COMMANDS!! RUN DON'T WALK!!
