    And Firefox, git, Dia, gimp, etc…

    Proprietary OS’s like Windows and macOS lack package managers too that tools like chocolatey and homebrew provide.

      Dia and gimp are ok, but they’re still quite behind the curve. I love floss and wouldn’t use the closed alternatives, but we got to know where we stand.

        git was created because a proprietary VCS was being a dick

        I was going to say git butler, which wraps git, but actually looks like that’s gone open source

        The ones I’ve seen in the wild are pvcs and ccc/harvest, but there are others. I think they usually try to brand it as part of a larger end-to-end SDLC tool or change management, or it’s built to work with a specific proprietary system like Autodesk vault.

      Windows has WinGet now, which is a built in package manager. It might not be as good as most linux distro package managers, but it does exist.
