ok I done that and one other command it suggested at end but it gave error. However I will see if this made any difference
and get back with you later. Thanks again for the help.
I ran that and afterwards it suggested I run "apt --fix-broken install etc" so I ran that and it said
after running that "there were too many errors" and it quit.

linux-image-5.15.0-56-generic
All this after trying updates again. So guess Mint is buggy so may have to try another linux variety. Ubuntu was buggy too
so tried Mint but looks like it's same. Any other linux's I might try?
I decided to wipe laptop clean and start all over with Cinnamon 21.1 Vera. So far it's seems to be working ok. Hope it stays this way.
So thanks for all the help.
Confirm that everything is working as it should be. THEN i recommend you do a system image backup or drive clone ( Foxclone has been rock solid for me and the actual dev. AndyMH..is an active forum member here who can answer whatever questions you may have about it) targeting a separate physical drive.
Also. create a Timeshift snapshot
Never hurts to be prepared

It seems like some specific issue. I guess this is not specific that Ubuntu and Mint are both buggy in general(or everybody would have these problems). I think something is happening in the user space that is causing a problem. There are too many lines showing that sudo: update: command not found and then the next lines will be failures because of something related to permission, or, I don't really know, but update not found -this is a problem.

I have Timeshift enabled automatically. I have an OWC external drive for backups. I use the backup software in Mint. I looked for Foxclone in the
Mint software file but couldn't find it.

Foxclone wouldn't show up in Software Manager. It's a third party application developed by AndyMH ( that's his user name anyways..who is a forum member here at this site)
You'll need to go to Foxclone.org and download one of the top two or three selections, then you can use Mint's own " Usb Image Writer" application to put that on a usb thumb drive ( recommend 3.0 or faster) or even a ssd you formatted to fat32 ahead of time if you have a spare lying around.
