I recently installed Ubuntu and I am new to it. Now I wanted to program with Visual Code but the problem is I can't download it. I tried sudo apt install ./<file>.deb (with my file path of course) but I only get this Error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 code:amd64 : Depends: libnss3:amd64 (>= 2:3.26) but it is not installable
              Depends: apt:amd64 but it is not installable
              Depends: libxkbfile1:amd64 but it is not installable
              Depends: libsecret-1-0:amd64 but it is not installable
              Depends: libgtk-3-0:amd64 (>= 3.10.0) but it is not installable
              Depends: libxss1:amd64 but it is not installable
              Depends: libgbm1:amd64 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I also had a lot of problems with installing anything including changing the keyboards layout.

I'm on a M1 MacBook and using Parallels Desktop.

Output of sudo apt update:

I appreciate any help.

M1 is ARM, so you can't install amd64 packages here.

But you can try installing VSCodium for ARM from https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases using one of the following commands (depending on CPU arch):

cd ~/Downloads
# 32-bit
wget -c https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases/download/1.63.2/codium_1.63.2-1639700511_armhf.deb
sudo apt-get install ./codium_1.63.2-1639700511_armhf.deb

64-bit


wget -c https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases/download/1.63.2/codium_1.63.2-1639700587_arm64.deb
sudo apt-get install ./codium_1.63.2-1639700587_arm64.deb
