From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

They removed installing another package that did this by default in the same version where they introduced the App Center. Ubuntu Software never handled installing third-party debs, gdebi did. And in the version where they introduced the App Center, they stopped bundling gdebi by default.
Also, the old behavior was that you double click on a deb file and App Center just hangs. This was shipped in the LTS.
