Re: Goodbye, Ubuntu Software Center

"The problem with Gnome Software (GS) is that it only handles some packages. You still need to install either Ubuntu Software Centre (USC) or Synaptic for the rest (basically, anything not a Gnome GUI package, or in other words, the vast majority). If there is some way of doing this from GS, it isn't obvious to me and I couldn't find it."

That should be easily solved by installing other equivalent utilities like Lubuntu Software Center (I'd have gone for a reskin of this one) or Appgrid, both of which are better than the old Ubuntu Software Center anyway. I'd also suggest raising this matter on the official Ubuntu help forum to draw this issue to their attention.
