Advice on LInux Installation?

I have been using various Ubuntu versions for many years but had no occasion until now to install anything other than from a repository.
The download page offers three different packages for Linux.
Can anyone advise me on which version to use?

What kind of advice do you need, do you actually need to change from the Ubuntu versions?
I moved from Windows to Linux Mint a few years ago and use Pierre's DEB version successfully, a potential issue with alternative installs such as DEB and TGZ is security, but I have no reason for concern with the security of XnView-produced downloads. The Appimage version, I believe, is nominally self-contained, as are the Flatpak downloads which are not produced by Pierre, with at least a slight delay before new versions become available.
