I tend not to trust apps packaged by someone else. I always check if the was packaged the gnome app store shows the verified status of apps, im pretty sure the kde one does too Unfortunately the developer often doesn't have packages or they don't update them. Such is the case for Zoom. I downloaded the "official" distribution but I had no way to update it so it eventually became stale and started breaking. Also Discord. There was no official release until very recently.It is useful to check the manifest file, some developer list additional setup guide and options in their github readme.
