minus-square@Telodzrumlink3•7 months agoI’d argue that it’s not really an opinion, but objective fact.
minus-square@HW07link2•7 months agoI find that winget tends to just grab M$ Store packages, essentially becoming just an alternative CLI frontend. Chocolatey, however, actually grabs the native program. And it isn’t developed by Microsoft. Even Scoop is good enough, however programs might not work perfectly because it uses portable versions of the program.

Choco > winget imo
