Public bug reported: Long story here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome- software/-/issues/1117#note_1436723
Short story: fresh Ubuntu 20.04 install, using gnome-software for a while and "suddenly" unusable, without any message in the UI. After long hours of searching I finally found this workaround: launching gnome-software setting GNOME_SOFTWARE_PLUGINS_BLOCKLIST=fwupd did the trick. I don't know exactly what the user has done; but for sure no terminal, no system file edition, only UI clics. The fix in fwupd is here: https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/pull/2739/commits and published in 1.5.5 release. What prevents from updating to fwupd 1.5.5 ?
