Here is the list of things I've tried (in order, not sure if the order made a difference in fixing)
- changing language and restarting (didn't work)
- sudo apt purge gnome-software ubuntu-software sudo apt autoremove sudo apt install gnome-software ubuntu-software (didn't work)
- sudo appstreamcli refresh --force --verbose (didn't work)
- sudo rm -r /var/cache/app-info && sudo appstreamcli refresh --force --verbose (didn't work)
- killall gnome-software ; gnome-software --verbose | tee /tmp/gnome-software.log (then ctrl-c and it worked)
I'm assuming some combination of this fixed it. Hopefully this helps in finding the correct solution
