Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Friday 5th of June 2015 12:55:38 AM Filed under

Ubuntu Software Center: proprietary and free software mixed in a confusing UI
Submitted by fsmag on Thursday 4th of June 2015 08:55:59 AM Filed under

I have been watching the evolution of the Ubuntu Software Center for quite a while now. I had doubts about its interface and its speed, but I liked the fact that it offered an easy, down-to-earth interface that allowed users to install software easily.
However, I have to say that the way the Ubuntu Software Center has evolved is worrying me -- a lot.
I am not against the idea of selling software. What I am against, is confusing proprietary software with non-proprietary software, The Ubuntu Software Center seems to be doing just that.
