    Winget sucks ass. Fails half of the time, lists way too much I did not install through Winget m, even had apps broken because of bad updates through Winget.

    Never had these problems with scoop or chocolatey though.

      That sucks. I use it to handle all software on my work dev machine and haven’t had any issues so far. We basically use it to set up clean machines and it’s worked perfectly so far.

      That’s one of the features though. You can update apps via Winget even if you didn’t originally install them via Winget.
