I stopped using Pop_OS because it breaks compatibility with nvidia-docker, which I use for tensorflow, and the devs say this doesn’t matter because they made their own project for running tensorflow in docker. Their project is called “tensorman” and it’s a complete joke.

And Nvidia drivers already set up, which you can spend a lot of time fiddling with in other distros.
and they are setup in a way which breaks compatibility with nvidia-docker, so beware of that.
Use tensorman. It's way cleaner than nvidia-docker, and isn't made by a company hostile to Linux to boot.

#23> 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?

Hmm, Canonical is not what I call 'massive' at ~600 employees[1]. Looks like Red Hat is almost twice that big[2], which still strikes me as pretty small? 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_(company)#Employees 2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat
I think you misread the page, as it says that Red Hat has 13,400 employees, which is 22x more than 600, not "almost twice" :) But also, both numbers are also outdated. The Canonical employee count is apparently around 500 in 2020 [0] and the Red Hat employee count is no longer public post-acquisition, but it's higher than it was in 2019.

Oops, you're right, that's just the Czech subsidiary - so they are massive-ish, at least compared to Canonical!

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.
