I've put quite a bit of work into my i3 set up recently and I'm curious if the people here are interested in that kind of thing.
I'd be interested in looking through configs to get ideas, and sharing screenshots and such.
Here is what my desktop looks like right now. Let me know what you think.

What should a lay user know about Linux app packaging?

I’m enough of a Linux lay user that I’m not even sure if I’m using the right terminology in the question (feel free to tweak it if needed!). Here’s what I mean:
I’m running Pop!_OS currently, and I have at least one app installed via each of the following methods:
- Deb app from the distro repositories
- Deb deb downloaded from program website
- Flatpak app downloaded from Flathub
- AppImage app downloaded from program website
- Snap app downloaded from the Snap store
As someone who doesn’t really know or necessarily even care to know what’s going on under the hood, these all pretty much work identically for me (with the exception of AppImage which doesn’t integrate into my regular programs menu, and the standalone Deb, which requires manual updating). In fact, for most of the programs on my computer I couldn’t tell you which one they’re sourced from. They all just run like they should.
I’ve looked up differences between all of the options and usually end up finding conversations that go well above my head and get deep into technical details. My question here is basically aimed at cutting through a lot of that depth: what is the important, need-to-know information about these different methods of installing apps? Is there anything I should be aware of if all I’m really going to be doing is running them as a standard, non-power user? Also, if an app is available via multiple methods — is there one that is preferred/better/safer/superior/etc.?
