Note: the sources.list.d is a directory, not a file, but you should
have a file for this, if you followed the instructions correctly.
This is not correct, and is not what the instructions show.
Code: Select all

As all ready suggested,
It would be better, in my opinion, if you just use Chromium, the default
until you get a better understanding of how Debian, and the packages , sources.list, etc all work.
This is the contents of: sources.list:

OTOH, the directory sources.list.d is empty.

In both instances the procedure(s) fail at this point:
"$ sudo apt-get update
E: Type '

E: The list of sources could not be read."

I'm somewhat ashamed to admit that I tend to do things via the GUI rather than from a console session.
Though I know the latter is faster. My "excuse" is that I am a poor typist, and quite prone to typos.
