Help about choice between Desktop and Webtop version.

Webtop version has the same interface across different platforms.

With webtop version, users can install UBA on a single device and access it on the same network.

Webtop version requires less handling of command-line tools and less steps to set up libraries.

However, Webtop version requires larger storage size.

In addition, use of clipboard with webtop version is not straightforward as webtop is a standalone os environment. Copying and pasting across apps outside the webtop requires an extra step.
