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.

Funny you should mention this, I'm trying to resolve a problem on an older laptop with some flaky hardware and systemd is making it exceedingly difficult. Part of it is inexperience, and part is systemd. Seriously, what the fuck were people thinking?
