   You can't install updates in that state, your system will be outdated   
   soon.   
   You need to da clean install. If you don't like snap, but need software   
   from it, you can check if there is a special repo that only contains   
   the packages you need that is designed for you OS, but activating a   
   repo that is from another distribution will create a huge mess, you   
   already have that on your current system.
