How to install packages

[Teunis]

This turns into a typical Linux discussion
Linux will often allow you to do a particular task in different ways and so there are different package managers, some more shiny, others more frugal.

I happen to like Muon because it has never really failed to satisfy my needs, the preview can be handy.
There are times when I would use the CLI, mainly to install something I know or a local deb, I've used Discover to see if there is anything new and then there is good old Synaptic.
To give an example of Discover's weakness, this computer uses Gwenview as main picture viewer, asking Discover for the KIPI plug-ins will only reinstall Gwenview and add extra Gwenview entries in the K-menu.

In the mean time I've found out what the reason for a double install of Gwenview was.
Originally I had installed it via Muon and when looking for kipi plug ins it only showed up in discover and installed it.

Now I had two entries in the K-menu but nothing worked.
Checking the actual command showed the Discover install was a snap.
Removing the snap and regular package and reinstalling the last brought back a functional Gwenview.

For me another reason to be very careful with Discover.
