GNOME Software is a utility for application and updates installation on Linux. It is part of the GNOME Core Applications and was introduced in GNOME 3.10.
It is the GNOME front-end to the PackageKit, in turn a front-end to several package management systems, these include systems based on both RPM and DEB.
The program can be used to add and manage repositories as well as Ubuntu Personal Package Archives (PPA). Ubuntu replaced its previous Ubuntu Software Center program with GNOME Software starting with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS,[2] re-branded as "Ubuntu Software". It also supports fwupd for servicing of system firmware.[3]
