I marked this as a duplicate because Ubuntu 24.04 LTS does handle PPAs
now. I recommend trying Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Beta when it is released soon.
Could you open a separate issue for add-apt-repository --list not
returning any deb822 repositories?

Title:
add-apt-repository Cannot Manage deb822 Repository Sources
Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
On Ubuntu 23.10...
* When adding a PPA, 'add-apt-repository' will add the repository in
the new deb822 format as a '<ppa-name>.sources' file in
'/etc/apt/sources.list.d'
* However, 'add-apt-repository --list' cannot see/understand the new
'<ppa-name>.sources' file
For example, with the flacon ppa
(https://launchpad.net/~flacon/+archive/ubuntu/ppa):
1. 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:flacon/ppa' adds the flacon repo as
'/etc/apt/sources.list.d/flacon-ubuntu-ppa-mantic.sources'
2. apt can install and update from the new repo, as expected. you can
also remove the repo, as expected, by running 'sudo add-apt-repository
--remove ppa:flacon/ppa'
3. However, 'add-apt-repository --list' does not list the repo as it
should. GUI package managers such as Muon and Synaptic also do not see
the new repo.
It makes working with packages quite frustrating, and unfortunately,
per Julian Andres Klode (juliank), there seems to be no plan to fix
the broken 'software-properties-common' any time soon. See here:
