Neovim Kickstart config "E5113: Error while calling lua chunk: vim/_editor.lua:0: attempt to compare two table values" everytime I open neovim

Question

I am getting an error every time I start up neovim in my terminal. I am able to continue past the error and use neovim but am annoyed at getting every time and wondering what is not configuring correctly.

Error that displays when I open neovim

lines 150-179 in my init.lua file

neovim version

I am using Ubuntu jammy.

I was expecting to run this command from the kickstart repository readme git clone https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim.git "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}"/nvim and have a fully functional neovim configuration but I keep getting this error.

I was also expecting to find a comparison of two table values of the init.lua file after reading the error but all I see is a keymap. And it seems to keymap fine on line 159.

I googled it and found somewhat similar stuff and thought I needed to update to a newer version to neovim. after updating to the latest version I still get this error.
