How to uninstall a program:

sudo apt-get purge NAME-OF-PROGRAM

 

 

Then if you want to clean up dependencies as well:

sudo apt-get autoremove 

 

 

As for the store not working, you're going to have to provide more info than "it doesn't work". For example, what does the error message say? 

 

You could try:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade gnome-software

 

Those two commands will fetch updates and then install updates for the software center. That might fix some issues if you're lucky. If not, you're gonna have to find some loggs that explains what happens.

Not if they installed a snap - which if they installed a fairly mainstream application graphically via the Software Centre is quite likely, as Canonical being Canonical means they really want to push you to use snap rather than apt.

 

For Snap you want sudo snap remove [whatever]

Thanks for reading all this by the way!

By the way, my desktop is a docked laptop. Get over it, No seriously, I have an exterrnal monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, ethernet and cooling fans all connected. Using it feels no different to a desktop, it works for several hours if the power goes out, and disconnecting just a few cables gives me something I can take on the go. There's enough power for all games I play and it even copes with basic (and some not-so-basic) video editing. Give it a go - you might just love it.
