Have people here heard about the Windows Package Manger called Winget? I just heard about it today.

It's Microsoft's take on Linux's apt-get and it's built into Windows 10/11. Want to install Google Chrome? Pull up a command prompt or PowerShell window and just type "winget install google.chrome" and that's it. Want to uninstall Chrome? "Winget uninstall google.chrome". That's it. No needing to find the website, download page, correct version, or run the installer. It just works. Likewise, "winget upgrade --all" will automatically update every program it recognizes. Even odd-ball software like yt-dlp (YouTube/media file downlaoder) are supported.

Some of the things Windows Update handles can be handled by Winget, such as Microsoft .NET, C++ redistributables, Office, etc. It doesn't appear like it will update the core Windows files for regular OS updates though. Maybe in later versions it will.
It also has a much larger library of software than the Windows Store does. Oh, and no Microsoft account needed.
