Nope it is not normal. If when you first installed the apps and it didn't ask you then, it shouldn't ask you now.

I have never seen it on Windows nor Linux

You can try

Sudo apt update

Then

Sudo apt upgrade

And then see if the error disappears

And the you received the same error message?

The command sudo apt update
Will update the list and mirrors of updates and it should fix the issue.

Can you please take a look at the repositories stored in

/etc/apt/sources.list

Please send a screenshot of the list.

In my tests following the release of Ubuntu 26.04, I found that updating software via "Ubuntu Software" was sometimes buggy, whereas "Software Updater" proved more reliable. The only drawback of "Software Updater" is that it does not detect Snap packages, though these are updated automatically regardless.

Personally I always use terminal to update. If any errors occur, you will see what's going on.
