Oops!
Next time do a downgrade.
I'm not sure, but I think your are in trouble here.
The one thing you shouldn't have removed.
Do you have a backup of your data? Reinstall.
or
Use Knoppix or the like to mount your drive and backup
/home ; /etc ; /var or whatever then reinstall.
If "nothing runs" I don't see any other way.
