Windows 11’s package manager
⚠️ This entry is already over one year old. It may no longer be up to date. Opinions may have changed.Windows 11 is even better than I expected and my first impression was. Next to running Linux GUI apps, there’s also winget
included, the Windows Package Manager. winget
allows installing and updating apps directly from the terminal. (I first blogged about it last year in May.)
With winget upgrade
you can search for upgrades. Doing this showed me that there was an update available for OneDrive, which I just installed using winget upgrade Microsoft.OneDrive
.
With winget search
you can also search and find apps. This way you don’t need to manually browse websites for EXE or MSI files anymore.
Windows 11 feels more like a Linux distribution now. 😂 I need to be careful not to become a Windows fanboy…
