Hi @Zenius, nothing to worry about :slight_smile:

the apt command do not like some ppa you have added. PPA are not verified by ubuntu team and can be risky, reason why apt is complaining a bit.

Please form the menu go to the Software & Updates app and uncheck all this boxes that are not mandatory for your system :

Next do a apt update and a apt upgrade.
You will be using only your system repos.

Thank you. This is the end of the update. I also changed the mirror source for the server. If this makes a difference.

I'm hoping this is correct.
