I got 20.04.1 and was able to add some software back like gparted and FreeCAD. Then I ran the software update (all 500+ MB worth took 2 nights and 2 passes) but now the Software center is gone! What is up? Do I need to get 18.04?

I can't reproduce it. How do we know what is the problem? – Pilot6 Jan 08 '21 at 09:47
We can only guess at your problem, as you've provided few clues. My guess is you added a 3rd party source, that wasn't very wise, added some packages that caused conflict with existing packages, the package manager fixed the conflict by removing packages.. but that's pure guess. The fix is to add packages appropriate for your 20.04/focal system. We don't know what you did, can't read your package logs (/var/log/apt/history.log etc), read command history and possibly most importantly view your sources. We can only guess from the little you provided. – guiverc Jan 08 '21 at 09:53
Does this answer your question? Has 'Ubuntu Software' been renamed to 'Snap Store'? – karel Jan 08 '21 at 09:55

Reinstall the software center with sudo apt install gnome-software? – HolyBlackCat Jan 08 '21 at 09:56
