Accidentally removed system dbus fixing

So I accidentally did something very dumb today, running sudo apt-get remove dbus instead of running sudo apt-get remove python-dbus. This led to my dpkg being broken and me getting a 'failed to start session' error when I try to log in. Going to recovery mode, I've tried to fix broken packages, but I get an error from that saying that it can't import distupgrade from python3/dist-packages. When I try to run the networking option in the recovery menu to try to reinstall some of the packages I removed, it hangs on "Reached Target Sound Card". I am completely at loss for what to do at this point, I've tried almost everything I can think of. Any help is appreciated! Thank you.

Use following commands :
# apt-get purge dbus
After that :
# apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

When I run this I get a bunch of failed to fetch ppas because I'm not online. That's part of my problem.

I'm not great at Linux, my advice is to fresh install if you don't have anything crucial on your computer. If you do, try backing up your files on a USB, then fresh install and copy over the files you need from that USB.

Yeah, the first thing I did was back up my files. The only thing is this is a pretty customized install and it would be easier to fix it even if it takes a few hours than to get everything set up again.
