i'd prefer not to see a large advertisement for "spotify" every time i open the software centre

is it possible to disable the "featured application" and "editor's picks"? A search online reveals nothing and i suspect then it's not possible

therefore, is it possible to search the software centre from the terminal? an online search for this question also revealed nothing

edit: I am using ubuntu 18.04

    You've not provided any OS & release details; but the software centre from most releases handles both *snap* and *deb* packages, so requires two commands... ie. `apt search` to look for *deb* packages, and `snap search` to search or *snap* packages.. If you're using a *flavor* & using another store; you'll need more than just those commands as well (eg. Software Boutique searches outside of just those two) – guiverc Oct 23 '21 at 13:49

To search for software from the terminal:

  • See here on how to find packages available as .deb packages.
  • Use snap search <string> to search packages available in snap format.
