Can't install very much after ubdating kernel

I've been messing around and now I messed something up.
I was struggling to update the kernel, but that's done now following another thread.
Well, now I am having a hard time with apt. I can't install certain things, (currently git) and get this.....

Now when using the app store I get this...

This all started after I updated the kernel. I have retried a couple times but nothing changes. And I need this 6.11 kernel because it's the only one that supports my new nic.

Anyone recognise this and know a fix? I have read several threads on similar issues, including a couple in this very forum. But nothing there worked for me...

This is unrelated to the Kernel. Just coincidence.

It looks like you have a missing dependency.

Open terminal and run

sudo apt --fix-broken install

Then launch Software & Updates. Switch Download from to "Main Server."
In terminal, run

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

Here is one of your missing dependencies in a downloadable .deb package:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/m/miniupnpc/miniupnpc_2.2.3-1build1_amd64.deb

You can double click it to run the installer.

Here is the other shown in your screenshot:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libe/liberror-perl/liberror-perl_0.17029-1_all.deb

EDIT:
Also run in terminal again:

sudo apt install git

Then I tried this...

Which seemed to run fine, though it just stopped after processing triggers, and returned to the prompt. If that's normal, fine. No errors were returned.
So then I moved onto your .deb files. The second one installed, but the first did not....

So then I tried moving on to your last. I have in the meantime already built git from source, so it is installed already. So to try it, I went with retroarch.
I keep getting hung up on apt. Also, the store version returns an error similar to when I tried your .deb files when I install the Zorin version. But the flatpak installs fine. I guessing because that installs its own dependencies separately of the system.

When I tried, I got this....

I appreciate your time! You seem to devote a lot of it on these forums! Thank you for that

It looks like that .deb package I linked to is depending on a Previous Installed version (older version) of itself, rather than supplying the entire package.

Quickly... are you installing from the repository provided in this Guide?

Well, it is the only way I can be a hero these days ever since the Federal Government banned the use of Kryptonium.

hangs head in shame

I did not see this guide. Last time (before I built this new system) it just installed from the store no issues. So I didn't have to even look at their website. I didn't think to this time since I was having issues with other installs as well.
Anyway, I just installed the repo and now it let me install retroarch .
