Ubuntu Software got removed in 20.04, but it can be reinstalled by running sudo apt install gnome-software, and it will get renamed from Ubuntu Software to Software. Can you open the newly installed Software app without getting a segmentation fault (core dumped) error message?

What are the results of snap list | grep discord? A line containing discord shows that the discord snap package is installed. If so try sudo snap refresh discord. Maybe be able to post this if it works.

I found these error messages when trying to open discord. Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gail" and Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "atk-bridge". This is not just discord, it also effects other snaps, and the bug report was posted yesterday. Do you get this error in the terminal when trying to run snap run discord?
