>Solution :

Most of the repositories and PPAs in your sources.list are no longer available and are throwing errors. I’d recommend restoring the default repositories.

  1. First, restore the default focal repositories using these commands:

    mkdir ~/solution
    cd ~/solution/
    wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/ishad0w/788555191c7037e249a439542c53e170/raw/3822ba49241e6fd851ca1c1cbcc4d7e87382f484/sources.list
    sudo rm -r /etc/apt/sources.list
    sudo cp -r ~/solution/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list
    
  2. Remove all the PPAs in your system:

    sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* ~/solution
    
  3. Update the repositories:

    sudo apt update
    

Now there should be no errors.
Good Luck!
