The error is coming from the steam repository you have installed from somewhere, I would try disabling it and explaining how you installed it

oo thanks ill try that i think i just installed it though the pop shop thogh i dont really get why this would suddenly make all my drivers stop working cuz ive had steam installed for bout as long as ive had the pc TT which is like 4months?

also think my wired connection might of stopped working aswell which idk i hope im not forced to do a re install cuz im having a hard time backing evreything up

[glad grotto]

omg im so dumb TT im sorry was gen in such a state i thought u were talking about steam

but ye i kindaaa tried removing it by using sudoapt remove on all the commands that installed something yesterday but that def failed and see as i said i was in a bit ofa severely impulsive mood yesterday so i followed the beggining of a few videos and random comments i can get the videos in my watch history and see if i can get any commands from my terminal

https://youtu.be/dQ1yh-UtfuE?si=2B_2rmT2BqElaHZy followed this up to the lightdm install and looked at the comments just to see thatlight dm is actually bad so i sudo apt remove

and followedthis all the way through reaching the x11 desktop enviroment where i was like SHIT evreything is broke

Debugging issues requires a careful and methodical approach to things. I don't know what your issue actually is at this point. At different times in this forum post, you have told us that

1. Images inside of discord are flashing
2. The prism launcher won't start, claiming something about drivers
3. Wifi connection issues
4. A screenshot of your package repositories being broken
5. You apt purge-ed your entire desktop
6. Actually the GPU is fine
7. Now the wifi isnt' working

I don't know what your actual issue is.

[glad grotto]

me either this has been a straight up confusing mess on both sides

im gen so sorry this has been hard but as far as i can tell and looked at my wifi is just straight fucked idk how it might be conflicting drivers thanks to kde but i genuinely dont know how to further trouble shoot it

the only real comfirmed issue with absolute certainty is that i am unable to detect any wireless networks

genuinely not my intention to be confusing or misleading im so sorry

i was prob just confused about the gpu thing and panicking im sorry i think prism just needed updating and i didnt realize
