I am using ChromeOS running Debian 12. When I try to install Flathub with sudo apt install Flathub, it returns with E: Malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lutris.list (type). What do I have to do to fix this?

You should be able to safely remove this file, and then apt should work again:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lutris.list
sudo apt update
