Ok, I have NewPipe installed and it's working but I don't where it's apk is located or how to replace it.

Ok, I can try Solus. As long as the only meaningful difference is the package manager, I should be able to use it.
Also, I didn't find the Manjaro spin but on Budgie's official website, there is a list of distros that come with Budgie. So, I can try those if, for some reason, can't use Solus.
I can try that, do you know of any distro that has it preinstalled? I don't care too much about what it's based on but I might prefer a distro that's similar to Linux Mint.
I'm currently using Cinnamon because I thought it would be better than Xfce. While I do think that Cinnamon looks better, there were some minor things that I preferred with Xfce. I want to try Mate and maybe some of the other DEs if I can find a good distro that has them but I may go back to Xfce the next time I install Linux Mint.
The only thing I use as a backup is a Live CD that's mounted to a USB thumb drive.
I used to use Timeshift but the one time I needed it, it didn't work for some reason. It also had a problem of making my PC temporarily unusable while it was making a backup, so I didn't enable it when I had to reinstall Linux Mint.
Something that I considered doing with a similar laptop, was to use it as a low-end portable gaming system. I'd take a lightweight Linux distro, like the 32-bit version of Q4OS if it's system requirements are lower than your current setup, and get it loaded with a bunch of games with low system requirements and retro emulators. Obviously, it wont be anywhere near as powerful as your main computer (if you have one) but because it's portable, there could be some value in having a portable gaming pc (unless you have something like the Steam Deck).
Yes but the problem for me was more complicated. Mesa is installed by default in Linux Mint and Vulkan should have worked out of the box but for some reason it defaulted to the wrong Kernel driver for the GPU. I didn't know this before posting and, as I stated in other replies, every search result on every search engine told me the wrong information.
I don't know if I need to do that because Vulkan seems to be working now but is that correct? My sources.list file is empty and it states the wrong version of Linux mint. Should I actually edit "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list", seeing that that has the actual list of repositories?
Yeah it seems like it's working now.
Ok, it seems to have worked as the game I was using for testing seems to be working fine.
Although, I keep getting the error message (WARNING: radv is not a conformant Vulkan implementation, testing use only.), is that to be expected?
Ok, do I need to restart my computer now?

Is Linux Mint's package repository having issues or is the problem on my end? (Solved, I think)
(lemmy.ml)
Edit: Last night, I used the "Fix MergeList problems" option in the maintenance tab of software sources and at least for now, it seems to be working. So I probably wont need help with this anymore, hopefully.
Every hour or two, the Update Manager keeps giving me an error message saying that my APT configuration is corrupt and that I should switch to another Linux Mint mirror. It usually goes away when I do a manual refresh but it just keeps coming back. I have also tried switching to a different mirror but I get the same error. It also tells me to run apt-get update but even if I add "sudo" it just gives me an error message saying to run apt-get update.
It happened again so I'm adding screenshots in case they help. The first is the initial error, then it's the error I get when I try to change the repository and the third is the error I get when I try running the command it suggested:

I was able to find it's apk but none of the apks I replaced it with worked. So either the apps I have don't work in ATL or there is some issue specifically with NewPipe's flatpak.
