Public bug reported:

As shown in the attaching (flathub_source_good.png), flathub packages shown in 
listings with the:
'source: dl.flathub.org' shown directily without having to click into the 
application package.

This is not the case for Snap packages. You have to click into the
listing to find out if it is a SNAP package or not.

This is confusing these days as you can have the same package from
multiple sources (ubuntu source, SNAP, flathub...)

SNAP sources should be shown the same way.

A user would want to know the source, especially if it is a SNAP/flatpak
because they would associate it with more frequent updates and the other
benefits of the packaging.

Ideally you could also filter based on the source as well

** Affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
