2What computer do you use and what else, apart from Ubuntu, is there on your computer? – Serafim Jul 01 '20 at 21:37

1Did you install the three distros together or one after another? – walttheboss Jul 01 '20 at 21:55

To solve hash sum mismatch you simply need to enable acquire-by-hash which is available in apt 1.2.0 or newer (if you are using Ubuntu Xenial (16.04) or Debian Stretch, or anything newer, you will be running a version of APT that supports this feature).
To enable acquire-by-hash do the following:
sudo -s
echo "Acquire::By-Hash \"yes\"; ">/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01byhash
apt update
For a background on apt and other fixes to your problem, see this helpful webpage.
If the above doesn't work for you you can try the following commands:
sudo -s
apt-get clean
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Executed the command mentioned, but did not solve the problem, the file 01byhash was created in the correct location with the syntax: Acquire::By-Hash "yes"; But I still get hash sum incorrect – Rodrigo José Petreça Jul 02 '20 at 12:52
