I noticed the Oracle database download page has two groups of clients for users to download. There is a thing called "client" and has 32-bit version and 64-bit version. Also, there is a thing called "client home", which also has both 32-bit and 64-bit version. What are the differences between them? When should I use which?
Update
The download page URL is https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/oracle19c-linux-5462157.html

LINUX.X64_193000_client.zip is a fully featured installer where you can choose what to install and where, then the installer copies the files to the destination and registers the client.

Simplified Image-Based Oracle Database Client Installation
Starting with Oracle Database 19c, the Oracle Database client software

Oracle Database client installation. Oracle Database client
installation binaries continue to be available in the traditional
format as non-image zip files.
As with Oracle Database and Oracle Grid Infrastructure image file

Hi Balazs, thanks for your answer. I'm still not sure why image-based installation is considered "better". You still need to extract the file and run an installation script, right? What's your throughs?

@Justalearner I have almost never used these clients and I don't plan using them. Yeah, you can save a few seconds with the "image" client compared to the full client, great. But still, it is a 2.2 GB "image". That is more than the whole operating system. 620 MB of libs, 500 MB JDK + other Java stuff, 149 MB RDBMS scripts (WTF?), 106 MBDMU, 101 MB timezone files (WTF?), 90 MB Perl, 86 MBafdboot(WTF? Noone uses AFD even on the servers), and other 100s of MB of unnecessary stuff that we don't need on 99% of client installations. Go for the Instant client. You can evenyum installit.
