What is your Ubuntu version? Which guide do you follow? Do you have any errors on `sudo apt-get update`?

You should know that codename of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is focal, not impish. The latter is the codename for Ubuntu 21.10, which is not your version.

So you have to open the terminal and use the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository -r -n 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ impish main'

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 
cd /tmp
wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
sudo apt-key add winehq.key

sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ focal main'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install winehq-stable

Also, you may be interested in the installation of PlayOnLinux utility by sudo apt-get install playonlinux to install windows Games and applications using prepared and tested scripts/wizards.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
