I've recently started using Ubuntu on my old laptop and I actually really like this OS, but somehow I've lost my superuser rights and idk how and why. As you can see in the screenshot, I've already tried to install the package with "sudo dpkg -i 'package name'" and the terminal didn't install anything and showed "Setting up nordvpn-release (1.0.0) ..." instead.

I really have no clue, what's behind all of this and how to fix it.

Ubuntu users when created don't have 'superuser' on their own. That's why sudo exists to execute commands with elevated privileges.

Nothing's wrong here, you have no 'loss of rights'; you just have to use sudo.
