Aana Logos; Hello

You are indeed long in the tooth :D

"Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) was the 20th release of Ubuntu. !End-of-life was April 25th, 2019." The software repository no longer exist.
You must upgrade to a current release, either on-line or a fresh clean install.
See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL

The latest is release 20.04 LTS. As the upgrade path from 10.04 is long ( 10.04 -> 12.04 -> 16.04 -> 20.04 ) and hard on bandwidth, may I suggest a fresh clean install ? A lot can go wrong in upgrading from such an old install.

I've been cleaning out files that my terminal tells me are not being used anymore. I don't know how to identify my HTML proxy: I'm stuck there.

The message "ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH" probably indicates that the web browser that you use is not able to use any encryption method that the target web page offers for https access (because your browser version is too old).

What exactly do you want to do? Download an xubuntu installer?
I suggest you try accessing
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/
or
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/20.04/release/
Are these pages accessible for you?

Before you start installing a new operating system, you should check whether your hardware fulfills the minimum requirements.

What is the output of the commands

sudo fdisk -l
free -m
lscpu

It is not possible to add attachments to Launchpad questions, but you can upload the screen shot to any image hosting service on the web (e.g imgur, postimage, ...) and put the link to the image page into the question document.

yeah, the os was so out of date that it was unable to communicate with others safely & the only option I found that worked was to buy an image of Ubuntu 20.04 on a usb stick via ebay. I was able to do a clean install of Fossa & now my asus nexus works just dandy.
