I'm still a pretty big noob when it comes to everything unix / command line related however I am attempting to download Vim via command line and I keep getting the following errors:

Only other posts I've found encountering similar issues are due to outdated OS or using a proxy, both of which are not applicable in my case, however I am inclined to believe it is a network issue. Just not sure how to even start

Run `sudo apt update`. Your repository information is outdated, and you always should run `sudo apt update` before running any package install commands to make sure you have the latest information on available packages.

Do: `apt-cache search vim`. It will provide a list of all installable `vim*` packages.

Your apt sources are a mess, which is why you have so many apt errors. See [How do I restore the default repositories?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/124017/how-do-i-restore-the-default-repositories)

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.
