minus-squaredan@upvote.aulinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·15 hours agoTechnical users that are comfortable at a command line often use WinGet these days. It works in Windows Sandbox too; you just need to manually install it.
minus-squareAdamBomb@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·6 hours agoMy ranking of package managers on Windows: Chocolatey: the oldest and has the most packages. Packages are AV scanned. Enterprisey. Scoop: Somewhat fewer packages, but easier to package for. More technical focus. FOSSy. Winget: fewest packages, and Microsoft literally stole it from its creator. I’m not aware of any reason to use winget over choco or scoop.

minus-squarekadu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 hours agoSure. Doesn’t change anything about my comment though, Winget is relatively new and unknown for most users.
