    Windows has literally been taking queues from Linux on how to makes installing packages and apps easier.

    Not to argue with you, but I think it would be fun if you can provide the source for this. I am very interested in how Windows is improving (not that I will jump back)

      They recently introduced a package manager called winget. I’m not sure how many people actually use it however, and it is very much a power user tool

        Okay, yeah, but it is still mostly a terminal tool. To a user, this is just chocolatey with less packages, lol.

      There’s GUI front-ends for things like apt that are pre-installed on many Linux distros, e.g. Ubuntu. And windows has been moving towards trying to have the same thing. And yes, also they’ve got an apt of their own.
