You forgot every linux user’s favorite package manager: Snap
…
🤮
🤮
apt purge snap
Flatpak!
I guess snap goes on the pink suit.
I can’t type
dnf
without thinking “did not finish.” I can’t even remember what it’s supposed to stand for anymore.You mean
do not fuck
?dnf
packages or you might get paper cuts.
Similarly, I read winget as “wing it”. The traditional package managers had better names: apt, yum, pacman. I know it’s a terrible reason to like a package manager, but still, a good name goes a long way.
You forgot RPM
You’re right. I did.
Yum too
zypper
and portageDnf is just updated yum, and both are backed by rpm
As someone who has to administer several hundred Windows servers and several thousand Windows workstations in our fleet (alongside our Linux and Mac systems), I was very sad that winget was not as good as I had hoped for. Chocolatey is still far better IMO, and neither is anywhere near as good as apt, rpm, etc.

No love for flatpaks?
Firefox flaptak, can’t play a video and go back a few seconds, or the video freezes but audio continues. Such a basic feature and it’s broken…
Wish you guys would hurry up and figure out the appropriate communities to post in
Don’t forget apk! It’s FAST!
Which category would you put scoop in? I like it and use it regularly on windows, I find it much better than choco. No experience with Winget
I don’t have any experience with scoop, but if you like it that’s great. I don’t want to yuck anyone’s yum.
WingetUI handles winget, chocolatey and scoop. Nice little project for casual Windows users.
I don’t use neither arch nor void, but I have to leave this unpopular(?) opinion out somewhere: xbps is a million times better than pacman simply for tracking dll dependencies.
xbps is the worst one out of all of them
Its interface is pretty meh I’ll give you that
Too niche, don’t get it 🙄
