Ps: I read the pinned guide, but I didn't understand what it said. the troubleshootung steps were just letters on a white background.

So, I let my laptop upgrade to Yakkety Yak (From 16.04/Xenial Xerus) and I left it for well over 8 hours. After I returned, I woke it up from suspend and the applet/program (I think it's called Distribution upgrade) was frozen (it was grayed out). That had happened multiple times when I started the update, but it always recovered. I waited for it and looked for solutions inline, but I barely understand how Ubuntu (and Linux in general) works "under the hood" and I didnt k or what to do. I remember a pop-up telling me something about restarting, but I'm not sure what it said/was about. I also noticed that some UI elements were missing. When locked, the status bar had white squares in place of some of the icons, and when I opened settings to check if it was updated, all the icons there were gone, too. I left it for a couple of minutes, but it didn't budge, so I restarted it.
Long story short, I broke Ubuntu and I need a solution. I can enter the ALT+CTRL+(1-6) terminals (tty?), and I have an option to boot into recovery mode in GRUB.
I was running a MacBuntu theme, that might be the reason the graphics are broken.
System info: Acer Aspire E5 laptop
Windows 10/Ubuntu 16.04
AMD CPU & GPU
I had just recently fixed my GRUB after a Microsoft technician broke it, and it sucks to have broken it again. Any help is appreciated <3
Thanks
