gnome-software: Launch the GNOME Software GUI if it's not open, and navigate to the specified page.
$ gnome-software --mode ${select}
try on your machine

The command "gnome-software --mode ${select}" is used to launch the GNOME Software application with a specific mode parameter. Here's a breakdown of the command: - "gnome-software": This is the name of the command or executable file that launches the GNOME Software application. GNOME Software is a graphical software manager for the GNOME desktop environment. - "--mode": This is an option or parameter of the gnome-software command that allows you to specify a particular mode for the application to run in. - "${select}": This is a placeholder or variable that represents the value of the mode parameter that you want to pass to the gnome-software command. The actual value would be determined by the context or script where this command is being used. To use this command, you need to replace "${select}" with a valid mode value like "featured", "installed", "updates", or "search", depending on what you want the GNOME Software application to display or do. For example, if you want to open GNOME Software in the "installed" mode to view the list of currently installed software, the command would look like: gnome-software --mode installed
