Software manager/Center missing in Ubuntu Studio 20.04 after upgrade

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu Studio 20.04, but realized that the software center/manager is missing. What to do to get it back? Now I can't even install .deb packages by simply double clicking them anymore. Did I lose some packages or repositories during the upgrade? It asked me if I wanted to remove was it 39 unnecessary packages/repositories or something. I forgot. Did I lose the manager in that process?

I believe Ubuntu 20.04 uses GNOME Software Center. So

Code:

sudo apt install gnome-software

I guess you'll need gdebi for this:

Code:

sudo apt install gdebi

Thank you. I found the gnome software installation sufficient. But looks like some previously installed apps like Redshift won't appear there in Software Center. It still appears as installed in the menu though.
