Had to boot my work Windows laptop a while ago, because the software I have to work on uses some stupid Windows sign in thing, and I wasn’t fast enough getting Kerberos working before everyone went on vacation.
I’d forgotten that every single piece of software handles its own updates, and to install anything you have to like, go around to different places and download it. It’s crazy.
Nevermind the file manager making a dozen HTTP requests every time you launch it.
There are a few tools like that, including one by Microsoft themselves (winget), but nothing is centralised and not everything will be available via it.
I just want to get my work done. It’s bananas how much faff is in the way.

Like cavemen. Can you at least use homebrew or something on windows?
