Hi, Beatrice.No, Bioconda provides a separate isolated environment in which to run QIIME. The advantage is that you can still use APT-managed packages from within a Bioconda environment, but anything you install within Bioconda is stored separately to the APT-managed packages and accessed using a PATH that prioritises Bioconda versions over APT-managed versions.
In a very real sense, you get the best of both worlds. However, there is one catch: Don't allow the "miniconda" bootstrap to 'initialise' your shell or it *will* conflict with APT-managed packages by prioritising Bioconda versions over Ubuntu/Debian-Med versions. You can solve this by using my Bioconda 'wrapper'.
