This seems to be quite an unusually large number of updates. Has it been a long time since it was last updated?


We would need to see the full output of the sudo apt full-upgrade part of koffeinfriedhof's command to see more info on which specific packages are causing the system to want to remove neon-desktop neon-desktop, distro-release-notifier, and ubuntu-release-upgrader-qt\.

Also more info on your system might help, particularly any extra software sources that have been added or other similar modifications.

You have added a repo for Hirsute (Ubuntu 21.04) in your sources.

You will want to undo that, as KDE Neon is Ubuntu 20.04, and mixing releases WILL cause many dependency errors.
