Cant install any packages

soooo.ive been on linux for a pretty long time but still cant figure this out.
the main issue is,whenever i try to install conky all through the terminal.it say that somwhow it cant fetch those files from the link.same thing happens to most other packages.so as a sane person i tried to install it from a .deb file.when i tried to install it.the package manager said that there is no repository for this hence it cant install.and this is the same for most packages.except flatpaks downloaded from package manager.
i believe the issue might be that.as brave is my default browser.anytime i search on brave,it does a brave search instead of a google search.i would also like an answer for this too pls.like it does search.brave.com instead of search.google.com so i have to manually fix the syntax whenever i search.i thought this might be the issue.even if this is the problem i dont know how to fix it.any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I don't use Conky and I don't use Brave. Have you checked Brave's Settings and Search options? It might be preferences in Brave instead of Settings. Personally I prefer to use Mojeek as my search engine first, and then use a different search engine that Mojeek offers.

Please post the results from terminal for

sudo apt update

You can use the </> tool on the toolbar right above the area you type your post to no-parse the terminal output.

So you can set google as search engine in brave:

And Conky... is a bit difficult...

The teejee ppa mentioned in It's foss is not so maintained. There is another one that is more maintained:

When I wanted to use Conky I also had to download the .deb file because there was a problem with conky-manager2, the gui for conky, but I didn't try it with adding a ppa.

You could also try it with the appimage that is offered in github.

But I am not sure if the appimage includes a gui for Conky settings.

If you want to use conky it is better to switch to Xorg at loginscreen (cog icon).
