I started daily driving Linux since I left school this year and used it before but mainly windows because school wanted us to run Word, Teams, etc. Today I wanted to play games and haven’t set up my device for gaming and didn’t want to download the game twice (good internet). Like a good PC user I wanted to do my updates. It really sucks on windows. I had three windows updates to make, one crashed. It rebooted my device 4 times. Also I needed to update other drivers and applications. Now I really appreciate package managers more than ever before.

      Something i especially appreciate about winget us that it will “index” (or whatever you want to call it) software that was installed outside of it. For example if I install app XYZ through an .msi setup file, I can update it using winget.

      So it seems I can also use scoop or chocolatey to install new software and then keep managing them through winget.
