Public bug reported:
The Gufw short description in the software center (where it is known as
Firewall configuration) is: "Allows you to configure ufw firewall". The
end-user does not know what is 'ufw', so this should be changed to
"Allows you to configure the system's firewall" or "Allows you to
configure Ubuntu's firewall".
As for the long description: "gufw is an easy and intuitive way to
manage your Linux firewall. It supports common tasks such as allowing or
blocking pre-configured, common p2p, or individual port(s), and many
others!" Here again, gufw should not be mentionned, but the biggest
problem is in 'Linux firewall". Since the recent Ubuntu site redesign
has completely removed any mention of Linux, the user will be confused
about this and may even leave Ubuntu on the basis that "Linux is for
geeks". So, this should be changed to: "Firewall configuration is an
easy and intuitive way to manage your Ubuntu firewall. It supports
common tasks such as allowing or blocking pre-configured, common P2P, or
individual port(s), and many others!"

Gufw's both short and long description are misleading
