So i guess this "competition" is off huh?

For now everything is working, so im gonna install some programs i actually wanted to first, once those are done, ill run the command again haha Dont wanna risk it not working again before ive completed everything else.

Oh my god, FINALLY, yeah used the first command, can finally uninstall programs with no errors, thank you! That took way to much effort to do.

My directory only goes as far as lib, no dpkg folder - Ignore this, managed to find the status file, has like 30,000lines in it

Yeah no adobe links at all, it is genuinely a flash player plugin issue, confirmed 100%, just how to force install/uninstall it now is the question.

No such luck, dont even have a source.d folder, just sources.list.d, and all that has in it is some Opera files.

Thats my original problem, i do that and it tries to connect to the flash player page again. The line of code i posted originally is after running the sudo dpkg --configure -a command.

Yeah thats exactly what my suspicions were, so how would i go about fixing this? Considering i cant install or uninstall anything until this flash player thing is fixed.

Thats what i thought, however it still returns the same issue when running that command "pkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem."

Tried to uninstall some software through ubuntu software, came with an error of needing to manually run the command sudo dpkg --configure -a, ran it, and it gets stuck on "HTTP request sent, awaiting response...", have tried different networks, doesnt help, seems like its something to do with adobe flash based on the previous lines, is it just trying to connect to a link that doesnt exist? If so whats the best way to go about fixing this? Thanks in advance. Setting up pepperflashplugin-nonfree (1.8.6ubuntu1) ... --2021-01-20 12:39:16-- https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/webservic

You may have a point here, ive never actually considered just switching browsers and see if it helps. But honestly im tired of windows to begin with so i wouldnt mind going with something different.

This all sounds gaming related, which this laptop will not be doing anyway haha As long as the driver installs and can use the gpu for some heavier rendering tasks im happy.

Well, looking at my requirements i dont think any of that will really matter too much, as long as it can run chrome im pretty much 90% sorted.

My main rig yes, but my work laptop, which is what ill be installing this on has a Radeon HD7670
