Hello, I'm new using Ubuntu and I just did a dual boot on my SD card of my switch to have android and linux. I want to install citra on my switch and according to some video tutotial I was watching, I need the Auto updater and the PI Apps, but everytime I try to run the megascript I got hit with this error message. I barely know how to use linux and I just want to emulate 3DS but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I would be very grateful if someone can help me.

I'm following the steps just as the website says, I tried the A method but it doesn't work, the megascript came preinstalled with my linux image (the latest version available on their official wiki) I tried to paste this in the terminal "sudo apt update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" but it literally did nothing. I tried to find answers on internet and some people say that the sources.list file may be the issue but my case is different since this is the switch port (also I tried to add those URLs that gave me errors as exceptions to the sources and that just made everything worse) I dunno what's wrong I tried to enter to those URLs and the page is down, maybe that's the issue but I cannot confirm it
