Still an issue in Ubuntu 20.04. Following @ximion's explanation, Guake
IS a GUI application that should be listed in gnome-software. "Ubuntu
Sofware", when searching for "guake" shows
- electerm ("guake" in description)
- guake-cl (change colour)
- guake indicator
So, if it lists related apps but not the app itself, it confuses the
user. The fallback was to open a term and `apt install guake`. Any non
technical user, will give up.
