Installing a driver wouldn't usually cause any issue like that. If it's not the correct one the relevant hardware just wouldn't work.
Did you do anything else? Hard shutdown perhaps?

After installing the driver I rebooted then nothing opened whatever I opened it crashed brave crashed,falkon crashed, so opened terminal and run the uninstall script from GitHub page and reboot. Now whole system is in the state in mentioned before. It freezes now so I have to reboot again. And it's same till now.

Could be a kernel issue. That 4.19.0-6 kernel is outdated and vulnerable anyway. You should install Debian 64 bit (4.19) which at this time is 4.19.0-10, from MX Package Installer, Popular Apps, Kernels category. Then run MX Boot Options and select it as the default, then click Apply and reboot. If that doesn't fix your lockups you have something else wrong with your installation that probably isn't even related to wifi drivers.

Another thing I see: per your Quick System Info your CPU temperature was 54 degrees and the maximum temperature allowed by your CPU before it does a thermal shutdown is 67.4 degrees. However, temperatures reported by inxi aren't necessarily all that accurate. I recommend that you right-click on your panel and install the sensors plugin or change your conky to one that shows CPU temperature and monitor it. It's possible that your browsers combined with whatever websites your loading are causing your CPU temperature to climb too high and that's what's causing the problem. 54 degrees seems rather high for a desktop computer's CPU: mine only gets that hot when it's under a big load.

It's a freezed screen. And that is right after boot ,it freezes there.
It is definitely due to installing and uninstalling drivers please refer GitHub page you will understand what happened due to it.

This what I did earlier right after last command I rebooted and from then on all apps were crashing and then I uninstalled drivers as commands from rtl8188eus GitHub and then it was totally unresponsive and resource hog.

I,too think that the issue shouldn't be related to installing a driver. Also this one is proven to work (not only with MX).

"Maybe" for you have 2 additional repos.. or something else ...

If it was a clean MX install and then you installed the driver this way, I've no doubt it would work flawlessly... (Maybe you try that on a tiny partition, say 8 GB ).
