The command prompt is operating in an environment that is created by
various settings that usually live in files like .bashrc and
.bash_profile (which should be in your home directory) whereas the
icons launch a program using a different environment that is set up
using the desktop environment (DE) files that differ by distro and by
DE.

As a Fedora user I don't grok the Debian/Ubuntu approach anything like
as well.

Like Paul, I would advise avoiding all and everything related to snap
and flatpak unless you have lots of disk space, CPU power and memory to
waste.
