I'm on Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish), and I have upgraded from 21.10 today. My machine is an Asus Vivobook K3500PH, with an Intel i7 11th Gen processor, a Nvidia GTX 1650 Max-Q Graphics Card. My system originally has a Linux 5.15 kernel, which was recently upgraded from a 5.13 kernel.
EDIT: This thread is also applicable for those who did not install a new kernel but upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04.
Background Info
Due to issues with my Wi-Fi driver, I would like to upgrade to the latest Linux kernel, which is 5.17.4 at this time of writing.
I found a guide online, and installed the .deb files for the kernel from https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.17.4/amd64/. Afterward, I proceeded to run sudo dpkg -i *.deb, installing the .deb files downloaded.
Errors encountered
The install failed with

From /etc/grub.d/bin/grubcfg_proxy: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory, I inferred that a library may be missing. As per this Stack Exchange post, I went to install the required libraries.
However, this error log is shown whenever I run apt, for any package I have tried:

It seems like apt is broken, so I cannot install any libraries or software.
Both errors point to the lack of libcrypto...., so that may be the error.
How do I resolve the issue, and also install the newer Linux kernel version?
