Initially I had issues specific to my P1 regarding external monitors and switching between graphics modes, but I likely would've experienced these issues with whatever distro I used, and they've since been addressed.
The only thing that irritates me now is that the Pop Shop app occasionally blocks apt because it's running update in the background. And the app can become laggy if you're doing too much with it at once.
Overall PopOS just does what is says on the box and with minimal need to configure it. It's currently my preferred distro for modern laptops.

I assume the point of that blog post is to generate interest in the OS, so being able to discern details in the screenshots seems like a reasonable expectation in that context.
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
Pop now just does the disabling for you, and you would re-enable the correct PPA afterwords.
It's the only distro I would recommend to non tech people if they want to try out linux.
