I need to upgrade my OS because Kubuntu 19.10 is apparently "end of life" and no longer allows updates. The update instructions I find say apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade. But apt-get update fails:

On too many occasions I've had apt render my computer unusable. So I'm not willing to try apt-get dist-upgrade given that apt-get update can't even run successfully.
I saw some hackish looking solution about running sed on /etc/apt/sources.list, but it was also 10 years old (not trustworthy) so I didn't try it.
I can't install or update any software now. And the first command in the upgrade in upgrade instructions fails. I'm stuck. How do I get unstuck?
