Apps in Discovery from Ubuntu or Snap?

[Sebastianhoeing]

Hey,

I just started using Kubuntu.

In the Discovery Store I can download apps from Ubuntu or choose Snap. What download should I use?

I know that Canonical tries to mainstream apps as Snaps. But what consequences do either choices have in daily use?

Thanks for enlightenment. Have a nice day.

If both choices are available for a package I normally install the .deb or Ubuntu package. I use snaps or flatpcks for packages that are not available in .deb format. Snaps are much larger files as the include all the dependencies with the snap package. Ubuntu /.deb packages require dependencies to be install on the system or they will be downloaded and install along with the program when it's installed. Hope this helps.
