I would like to know if it's safe to remove the gnome-software package, because it's taking a lot of RAM. I'm not sure if it integrates with the DE or with specific apps.

Is it safe to remove the gnome-software package? I have uninstalled snap-store before, but sinec gnome-software (deb) is preinstalled I'm not sure if I should uninstall it.

I'm using the standard Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I'm also using the GNOME DE, preinstalled (as it is in standard Ubuntu 20.04)
