I had issues with setting a postres user, or adding my user to the postgres user group... It's confusing because there are Linux users and Postgres users, you can mix and match.. make it work. I did, but forgot how. Switched to docker (setting postgres user and password in docker compose) and moved ahead... Simpler, cleaner, manageable.

I actually got it working thanks to @fal@yiffit.net i learned two things. First i need to be more careful about what questions I’m asking. The second thing is to use ChatGPT wisely.

This whole question is extremely confusing, and the fact that you would consider switching to windows makes me think this is just trolling.
sudo apt-get install postgres is literally all you need to do. Then systemctl start postgresql.service
But you should probably be using docker anyway.
docker run --name some-postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -d postgres
Like, you're editing sources list files? Where did you read that that's a thing you should be doing?
Start up a fresh VM in the distro you're using and follow instructions on how to initialize it there. If you do this and it works on the VM, you'll know it's some sort of system config error instead of a user error. I have no other ideas bc I've never done that before but best of luck :)
