I don't know how to solve it.

I tried to do apt-get dist-upgrade but didn't work.

My /etc/apt/sources.list has:

deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports focal main restricted
deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports focal-updates main restricted
deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports focal universe
deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports focal-updates universe
deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports focal multiverse
deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports focal-updates multiverse
deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports focal-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports focal-security main restricted
deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports focal-security universe
deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports focal-security multiverse

Don't tell me to do

sudo dpkg --remove-architecture i386

I know that that solve the problem to do apt-get update but I need i386 architecture.

I'm trying that but all the distribution I write on "/etc/apt/sources.list" have the same issue :( — YagoAmani, Feb 17 '21 at 01:09
What is your hardware's native architecture (ex. uname -m)? is it by any chance an ARM-based system? — steeldriver, Feb 17 '21 at 01:09
i386 is not a compatible architecture with aarch64 (arm64), have you added an intel/amd i386 compatible cpu to your box? as normally arm64 boxes don't provide that. i386 is also not found in ports (it's not a port; thus your issue; however even if you corrected that, you'd not achieve anything unless you've got an i386 cpu in your box) — guiverc, Feb 17 '21 at 01:14
I'm ussing a raspberry pi 4, and I installed ubuntu server 20.04. So I have to use something like a virtual machine in my raspberry? — YagoAmani, Feb 17 '21 at 01:16
Does this answer your question? How to install i386 packages on Ubuntu on ARM-based Nexus 7? ; there is a better duplicate but I didn't find it sorry — guiverc, Feb 17 '21 at 01:17
Steam runs on Raspbian because Valve did some serious work on compatibility. Valve has not contributed that work to Ubuntu, so Steam currently won't work on a Pi running Ubuntu. — user535733, Feb 17 '21 at 01:20

Unfortunately, this seems like a classic XY Problem.

Your actual problem seems to be that Steam does not run on your Pi running Ubuntu.

Unfortunately, you have been sidetracked into asking an irrelevant question about i386 libraries.

Steam runs on Raspbian because Valve did some serious work on compatibility. Valve has not contributed that work to Ubuntu, so Steam currently won't work on a Pi running Ubuntu. This is a Valve decision, not an Ubuntu decision.
i386 libraries for steam are a matter for amd64 systems (most Desktops). But on RPIs, those libraries are part of the Valve compatibility software. RPis cannot run i386 software without (high resource) emulation.
