A few days back, I tried to install TheFatRat, a Kali Linux application. Thereafter I started getting these errors. I cannot even install any new packages.

Any help is appreciated.

It would appear that you added the Kali Linux Repository to your list of repositories to install that package, yet you did not add the repository's public key to your local keyring. Thus, Ubuntu cannot verify the authenticity of the repository.

The following commands should fix this problem:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys ED444FF07D8D0BF6
sudo apt update
