No worries. Thanks for testing as much as you did. I'd have done it myself, but 
sadly virtualizion is the one thing I've run into where my 2GB RAM is not 
enough.

I agree. Like that of Ubuntu Software Center did, the design of GNOME Software 
seems to present the repository as a "store". This already is confusing for 
beginners who are not used to how packaging works in a GNU/Linux distribution 
but are used the Micro$oft Store, crApple Store, or Screwgle Play. It gets even 
more confusing when software from the Snap Store is mixed in with software that 
has been packaged by the maintainers. The malicious, proprietary version of 
2048 I linked to in my last comment could easily be confused with the free 
version in the Ubuntu and Trisquel repositories.
