> We now disable user-added PPAs, as they often cause upgrade issues for users.

Doesn't that eliminate a lot of software options? Just curious, I haven't used Linux or Ubuntu in a while so things could have changed or I might be misunderstanding something

It's long been recommended by both Pop and upstream Ubuntu (iirc) to disable PPA's during upgrades, and purge them if possible, before doing a dist-upgrade.

Pop now just does the disabling for you, and you would re-enable the correct PPA afterwords.

Is there a simple way to just reenable all the ppas at once?

I'm afraid I don't know off the top of my head. I don't usually use PPA's, most things I want are in the repos, I compile myself, or a direct download.

I would there is, but I don't know how.
