What's the differences between the two version of oracle client download file, "client" and "client home"?

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.

LINUX.X64_193000_client_home.zip is an "image" of and "Administrator" type installation, that you unzip to the destination folder then register it.

Simplified Image-Based Oracle Database Client Installation


Starting with Oracle Database 19c, the Oracle Database client software
is available as an image file for download and installation. You must
extract the image software into a directory where you want your Oracle
home to be located, and then run the runInstaller script to start the
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
installations, Oracle Database client image installations simplify
Oracle Database client installations and ensure best practice
deployments.
