Often people are scared of reinstalling Windows because they will need to reinstall everything. Windows was an Operating System that was not born with Command Line in mind and this reflects negatively on the experience of “new machine configuration”. Linux users had package managers from almost the beginning, this imply that to install all of your favorite tools, you can simply use command line to install everything.
I do not want to do a full coverage of all the features, but simply share why this is a thing. It was firstly announced last year at build, but with 2021 build conference it was announced that it is now in version 1.0. It is possible to look up software in Winget's repository.After a really loooooong time, finally Windows has its own Package Manager called Windows Package Manager 1.0.
The big advantage here is that you can combine Winget with Microsoft Endpoint manager, Intune. In Winget, as in Chocolatey, you can install software via command prompt. Winget is installed in Windows 11 and can be used out-of-the-box in any version. Perhaps an opportunity for Microsoft to always offer up-to-date software. The challenge remains to bring every software package into the repository. Like Chocolatey, Winget has the opportunity to provide all software in a non-graphical way. Instead of searching for a software solutions on the Internet, it is possible to use Winget to find the right software faster and install it on a client. Package managers are the most widely used within Linux. It can also be useful for individual users looking for an easy way to install or manage software on their Windows system. WinGet is especially useful for managing software on a large scale, such as in a professional environment or in a network of multiple computers. For example, you can use commands to view a list of all available software packages, to search for specific packages, or to download and install updates to existing packages. WinGet uses a command-line interface and provides a series of commands you can use to search, install, uninstall and manage software. With WinGet, you can easily install new software or download and install updates to existing software. It is a tool designed to simplify installing and managing software on Windows systems. WinGet is a package manager for Windows developed by Microsoft.
