As long as you don't have to manually download the packages and install 
it, then it don't matter at all.

I do prefer packages for a distro over flatpak/appimage/snaps, as they 
have a lot more than just the application itself, which leads to longer 
download time as the files are larger.

My distro do have support for flatpak, so those can be simply installed 
in the same manner as other applications, which makes updates a bit 
simpler, just the download time that bah... sometimes  like if you were 
installing CUDA SDK.

No specific driver software needed, that comes with the kernel, but 
different manufacturers uses different protocol to talk to the printer 
over the usb, which makes not all 3d printers works with Linux, as far 
as I know xzyprinting don't really support Linux, they had some version 
of their tool back in the days.

What a fast duckduckgo gave me was these two applications that should 
work with some models from xzyprinting:
