   I learned something else about flatpak and snap in KDE Neon today.   
      
   I'm exploring an online vid tutorial about Python; which 'tutor' is   
   working in a Mac environment + Py3 + PyCharm.  The pycharm dev/s quit   
   providing a current linux .ppa a LONG time ago, but they still provide   
   both Snap and flatpak packages, so I was 'forced' (if I wanted to use   
   pycharm as a tutee) to employ one of those alternate packages.   
      
   My first choice was flatpak, partly because it was a slightly newer v.   
   and partly because I'm 'anti-snap'; BUT...  the working environment of a   
   live KDE Neon meant that the 'breathing room' of free storage space   
   (from the ram) was very low, so the flatpak which is kinda 'compily'   
   didn't go, it needed more room to do its thing; but the snap package   
   /was/ able to install, tho' compromising/using up most of the sparse   
   storage.   
      
   Naturally I need to make a mod to my working environment for this project.
