I had similar problems under Ubuntu 22.10. I got a little farther: nyxt starts, but complains about a certificate error.
For now I have reverted back to use the flatpak for the previous Nyxt pre-release.

I had reverted back to pre-release-3 using Debian dpkg instead of flatpak.
Firstly I downloaded the nyxt_3_amd64.deb from github.com .
Secondly I needed to run: [ sudo apt-get install -f ] to resolve the lib dependency issues.
I can get the Nyxt running but with the following messages:

WARNING:
You are using ASDF version 3.3.5 from #P"/home/runner/common-lisp/asdf/asdf.asd" and have an older version of ASDF
(and older than 2.27 at that) registered at #P"/home/runner/common-lisp/asdf/asdf.asd". Having an ASDF installed and
registered is the normal way of configuring ASDF to upgrade itself, and
having an old version registered is a configuration error. ASDF will ignore
this configured system rather than downgrade itself. In the future, you may
want to either: (a) upgrade this configured ASDF to a newer version, (b)
install a newer ASDF and register it in front of the former in your
configuration, or (c) uninstall or unregister this and any other old version
of ASDF from your configuration. Note that the older ASDF might be
registered implicitly through configuration inherited from your system
installation, in which case you might have to specify
:ignore-inherited-configuration in your in your
~/.config/common-lisp/source-registry.conf or other source-registry
configuration file, environment variable or lisp parameter. Indeed, a likely
offender is an obsolete version of the cl-asdf debian or ubuntu package,
that you might want to upgrade (if a recent enough version is available) or
else remove altogether (since most implementations ship with a recent asdf);
if you lack the system administration rights to upgrade or remove this
package, then you might indeed want to either install and register a more
recent version, or use :ignore-inherited-configuration to avoid registering
the old one. Please consult ASDF documentation and/or experts.

Please kindly advise how to fix the following issue as I cannot locate the file /home/runner/common-lisp/asdf/asdf.asd .
You are using ASDF version 3.3.5 from #P"/home/runner/common-lisp/asdf/asdf.asd" and have an older version of ASDF
(and older than 2.27 at that) registered at #P"/home/runner/common-lisp/asdf/asdf.asd".
I’m pretty sure that this thread belongs to GitHub issues on Nyxt, because it’s a build failure. The forum is for ideas and discussions, not for bug reports
I now downloaded nyxt-3-source-with-submodules.tar.xz, unpacked it in a subdirectory,
cd to subdirectory, make all.
This built nyxt without any problems. Note though that I have sbcl installed and have built older nyxt versions in the same way.
I also built the web-extensions support. and doc. I have not done a make install, instead I made a symbolic link to the nyxt executable, and run it from the build directory:
cd ~/bin; ln -s …/Downloads/x1/nyxt
When I ran nyxt initially I got a lot of error messages, but they disappeared once I had moved my old ~/.config/nyxt out of the way.
