Ubuntu Software Center appears to be replaced with Gnome-Software. I was successful installing Synaptic using it, but it is now relegated to the not-used pile. I guess I should try to do some uninstalls, but I am concerned it might take out some things that some still-used sw needs.
BTW, why is Gnome-software so limited (I would call it broken).? -Denis On Fri, Jun 24, 2016 at 1:37 PM, wes <[email protected]> wrote: > On any new install, I use the "Ubuntu Software Center" to install Synaptic > as my first action.
