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.).
