Lite software is silly OK. It is empty. I would like a really like a graphical software center and do not say there is synaptic. It is too advanced. Plus my question is if it will overwrite LL with Ubuntu?
Quantify why the Ubuntu SW updater is better, saying it has more updates is irrelevant. There is no justification for your statement. Ubuntu has a different approach to SW updating than LinuxLite. Linux distro's are not a 1 to 1 comparison between distributions. There are different software packages installed between LL and Ubuntu, which could be why you see "more updates". LinuxLite is just that, minimal, and less complicated.
If you are trying to make LinuxLite more than what it is, then you take risks as detailed in-

Its ill-advised to use Ubuntu's software updater... Know what issues may arise doing so..
Here's a couple to get you started:

I have successfully installed many software packages using synaptic. If you are not finding what you need/want in the LL software than you then take it upon yourself to go on that journey. It is outside of what is standard on LinuxLite. If you have a need for something more, make suggestions, donate time, donate money and put some effort into your requests.
If you want Ubuntu styled, themed, gui software manager than install Ubuntu, and take themes/xfce from LL and put in your Ubuntu install. There are several ways to approach your issue, I have outlined a couple solutions above. Good luck.
