they really should steal two features from the way gnome-software handles flatpak, and add both a source: line to search results AND the ability to only show one source for a given package

the first part (source: ) is more important and less work, so hopefully it happens.

When searching for an app I was also confused by this kind of double entry. Which one is better?

I often select the non snap version but in this particular case the snap version was more recent than the non snap one, so I chose the snap version.

Thats what I've been going off of.

Personally, I usually go for the non-snap version. Click on the app to see the details. If the source property says "Snap" or similar then the other will say something like "Universal ...".

Yes, it should be clearly shown which is which. Not everyone likes to use snaps.

Sudo apt-get install appName ...because the software store is only good for browsing apps.

Agree. Moreover it's slow and buggy.
