 You're using Linux Mint which doesn't have a distribution branded for it.
Mint "victoria" 21.2 says here
https://linuxmint.com/rel_victoria_cinnamon.php that

Linux Mint 21 is based on Ubuntu 22.04. Make sure to read the Ubuntu

So you need to download the correct version for Ubuntu 22.04 which is
codenamed "jammy".

In your /etc/apt/sources.list.d you should have a file called qgis.sources
and I believe it should look like this:

Types: deb deb-src
URIs: https://qgis.org/debian-ltr
Suites: jammy
Architectures: amd64
Components: main
Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/qgis-archive-keyring.gpg

Yours probably currently looks like this:

Types: deb deb-src
URIs: https://qgis.org/debian
Suites: victoria
Architectures: amd64
Components: main
Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/qgis-archive-keyring.gpg

This will not work - first of all it's going to get the latest release
(that's why you need "debian-ltr") and second it is looking for code name
"victoria" which doesn't exist there (that's why you need "jammy").

I hope this gets you further up the road!
