    From Heinz Schmitz@21:1/5 to All on Wed Nov 29 12:49:27 2023
    Since some time I use the Kalendar (ubuntu 18.4), which I find quite
    useful. In "ubuntu software" you find it listed with 312.8 MB, which
    seems rather much for such an application. Well, I thought, this is
    because of the snaps.

    Now I have a second PC with Mint 20.3. I looked for a calendar
    and found "Calendar (for gnome)", 1.1 GB to download, 3.6 GB disk
    space required.

    How come that two nearly similar Programs differ so much in volume?

    Regards,
    H.

    Ubuntu Software also provides snap apps.
    Those apps contain every dependency (libraries etc.).
