How to re-boot Ubuntu Sofware

Asked by Ricardo Diamondo

Since installing Steam on my laptop, running 16bit Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS, I have lost access to the Ubuntu Software Center. All I get is an almost blank page with a line of apps that I do not want at the top.
Please bear in mind that I'm a pensioner and not that techy, although I can use the terminal....

There is no 16bit Ubuntu version. There was 32bit and 64bit, never 16bit. I don't think there even is a 16bit kernel.....

What is the full output of:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Thanks

Sorry that's 64bit

The PPA you added here
http://ppa.launchpad.net/lzh9102/qwinff/ubuntu/dists/

Doesn't support Focal and should be removed.
