After installing the latest updates from Zorin within the Software app recently all my apt install attempts end with:

My gut tells me ubuntu/zorin doesn't like my hardware anymore
how can i get this all configured?
No guarantees but, first ensure your Software Updater is pointing to Main Server for your sources and not custom server or your country locale server. Start Software Updater, then stop it. Click on Settings button after you have stopped the Updater. Go to first tab and check that your software sources are set to Main Server, you will need to enter your login password to make the change.
Next, close the Software Updater, then go to Menu | Utilities | Terminal.
Now at the Terminal prompt enter:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
and see if it pulls in the missing elements.
No, unfortunately this did not help. Here is my output
Thanks for that information. It's either one of two things, the newer kernel conflicts with the hardware and unfortunately the new files conflict with your hardware. I would go back to your previous kernel if still present. Additionally, hardware drivers become deprecated sometimes with the release of a newer kernel.
Doing some more research, one solution is to remove the offending card and replace it with one that works. Please remember that your hardware was designed for that other OS. A lot of drivers that the Linux kernel hold are down to hard-working volunteers involved in reverse engineering to get things to work, but sometimes hardware code doesn't get updated.
A simpler solution might be to get one of these:
