I recently installed Ubuntu 20.04.
I attempted to install apps from the Ubuntu software center, but it isn't working correctly.

  1. No icons are displayed. https://ibb.co/Rc4BmF0

  2. No screenshots or information about the applications are displayed. https://ibb.co/GRWCmQm

I tried Ubuntu Software not loading properly but it didn't work.
How to fix?

This issue has existed for a long time. Ubuntu's Snap store isn't well-maintained and doesn't perform properly. As a result, in Jammy 22.04, they've chosen to use Gnome software instead. Gnome software is working fine without any issues. You can install gnome-software using:

$ sudo apt install gnome-software

If you want to remove the Ubuntu software app:

$ sudo snap remove snap-store

Gnome software is way better than the default application centre. The user interface is nearly the same.

Note: Ubuntu Snap Store is a re-designed version of Gnome-Software but unfortunately with bugs.

You can launch gnome software using:

 $ gnome-software

You can also launch it using the application overview.

Here is how it looks like:

Gnome software Icon

Here is the UI of Gnome Software in Ubuntu 21.10:

You can install additional plugins for it too. For example, you can run the following command to enable the snap plugin in Gnome Software:

$ sudo apt install gnome-software-plugin-snap

If you want to enable flatpak support then you can run:

$ sudo apt install gnome-software-plugin-flatpak
