    You just go to the website that makes the software and download

    That’s literally hunting for the software dude. You gotta open up a web browser, and if you don’t know the webpage already you gotta search for it, find the download page on that website, get passed the likely popups and other crap and then finally select the right version of the software to download.

    Package managers are 10000% better. Even Microsoft knows this, it’s why they created winget.

    Putting in winget search software name Copying the package name from the search result Putting in winget install pasted package name is significantly fewer steps. No Google search, no finding the download page, no popup crap, and no fake download button ads trying to get you to install malware. You just install the software in less time than it would take to even write your crappy comment.
