[digiKam-users] Database Configuration - Type SQLite only

[Maik Qualmann]

Ubuntu's Snap packages are not a good choice, Snap uses a sandbox, and there 
are several problems with it.
If you can't choose anything other than SQLite, the digiKam version was 
compiled without MySQL support. If no current native Ubuntu packages from 
digiKam are available, use our AppImage.
