I do not like the new GNOME software center. I cannot find some old programs I had on Ubuntu 14.04. (Like OpenJDK Java 8 Runtime) Is there a way that I can install the old Ubuntu Software Center on Ubuntu 16.04?

Try installing the package software-center with sudo apt install software-center :)

  • I tried doing that on another pc and got this: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package software-center is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'software-center' has no installation candidate
