From your screenshot, it seems that you are installing Kali Linux. I also have Kali installed and it is doing just fine. I followed the guide from Kali official website and the installation guide on the Kali website is straight forward already.

Most likely, your error comes from the ISO file that you've downloaded. Download the installer file via torrent, from the link below. Choose the installer version.

Installing Kali Linux | Kali Linux Documentation

Installing Kali Linux (single boot) on your computer is an easy process. This guide will cover the basic install (which can be done on bare metal or guest VM), with the option of encrypting the partition. At times, you may have sensitive data you would prefer to encrypt using Full Disk...

Moving this to Kali Linux.

@mohithsarvepalli , when this gets there, DO take the trouble to read the readme thread

You need to edit the repository file

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

add these two lines to it if not present

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

#deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

Now press the CTRL+O for saving the /etc/apt/sources.list file. And CTRL+X for exit from nano text editor.
Now run

sudo apt update

Now you need to install the desktop Kali come in 3 flavors - Xfce, Gnome and KDE - pick the one you want

sudo apt install -y kali-desktop-xfce

sudo apt install -y kali-desktop-gnome

sudo apt install -y kali-desktop-kde

once the desktop is installed now reboot using

sudo init 6
