    On windows, it takes me two steps:

    • Open powershell
    • winget install -q vlc

    I still prefer Linux though, for many other reasons.

      Yeah, was going to say the same thing. I prefer Linux too but I think they are intentionally doing an unfair comparison here.

        True, but I’ve moved to using winget for everything that allows it, as I can then update allllll my programs with one command just like Linux, no more searching for and downloading updated installers, this does it all:

        winget upgrade --all

          Oh that’s cool. I’ll test this out on my next VM spin up.
