Upgrading my Kubuntu bricks the GUI

I have a Kubuntu 22.04.4, kernel 5.15.105, and GPU Nvidia GTX 1650. When I upgraded my system with the command

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

It has upgraded the kernel to 5.15.107. When I try to start the system, the Nvidia displays an error message: "failed to start NVIDIA - persistence daemon". Trying nvidia-xconfig says that it is unable to locate or edit /etc/X11. Doing ls /etc/X* indeed shows that there's no such directory with that name.

I am writing all of this from memory since I can't just copy paste it to a browser so pardon the inaccuracy

Looking at this issue for past versions, it seemed that the problem was related to secure boot. I don't think that is the case for this one, as everything works just fine with the older kernel.
