I want to upgrade but I don't know programming.
When I launch Software Updater, it says "failed to download repository information. check your internet connection." So I click then it tells me "the software on this computer is up to date. However Ubuntu 22.04 is available (you have 20.04)." When I click nothing happens. I tried an online guide to update via terminal but that didn't work either.
I'm stuck. I wouldn't mind staying on the current release but I still want to get rid of the errors when trying to update.

Someone on reddit suggested I try installing this program then running aptsources-cleanup, but I'm having trouble getting past the part where I make the PYZ file executable.
peter@scioneaux:~$ sudo apt install python3-apt

python3-apt is already the newest version (2.0.0ubuntu0.20.04.8).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
I might be doing this next step incorrectly. I can see the aptsources-cleanup.pyz file in my Downloads folder. So I run this in Terminal, but get an error:
peter@scioneaux:~$ chmod a+x aptsources-cleanup.pyz
chmod: cannot access 'aptsources-cleanup.pyz': No such file or directory
So I right clicked the PYZ file > properties > permissions > and gave everyone read/write permissions and checked the box to allow executing the file as a program. But it still opens as a text file if I double click
Finally, I tried to run the program from Terminal after changing permissions in the GUI:
peter@scioneaux:~$ sudo ./aptsources-cleanup.pyz
sudo: ./aptsources-cleanup.pyz: command not found
Obviously I have very limited idea what I'm doing. I'm not computer savvy and never will be. Any help fixing the errors and ultimately upgrading would be appreciated.
