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.

It looks like the URLs for one or more of your Nvidea driver repos is incorrect which is preventing your system and the script from executing the apt update command.

I have never installed or run Linux on a switch but it looks like there's option A and option B on the L4T Mega script GitHub. One for Nintendo switch and one for Nvidea Jetson users. Considering the repos are giving errors for a Jetson repository I would double check the guides you're using and make sure that your following the right steps.

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
