Thanks for the information. I hope to apply some of what you have mentioned.

I did create a lubuntu 20.04 USB stick, but based on some reviews I have read,
I am hesitant to install it.

Perhaps a concrete example will help. Imagine an error window.
I suspect you have seen them.

[EXPLAINED] Thanks for the answer.

It is nowhere near a show stopper, just annoying. Duplicate desktop icons appear when a blank CD-R disk is inserted, and a single icon...

As suggested, I commented out the one line I found, and re-ran the update.

All the "Duplicate" entries vanished.

I take it that means I had four entries in sources.list which were duplicated by...

Since the only foolish question is the unasked one, here is my query - others may decide if it is foolish or not.
