Setting up a new laptop today and using `winget` (new official(!) pkg manager) to do it. It feels as smooth, if not smoother than Homebrew. *way* better than the default pacman/yay experience. If winget will come pre-installed on machines in the future: ooophhhh. This is good.

Ah, can't install Rustup through winget yet. Someone should write a PR to include
@rustlang in the package overview: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs … Would love to be able to do: $ winget install rustup And things just work.4 replies 0 retweets 10 likesShow this thread -

BTW, I have an item on my list, which is documenting how to properly build rustc on Windows in Powershell without mingw.

More broadly, how does winget relate to Chocolatey, etc? Better? Worse? Will the two be merged? etcpic.twitter.com/dSoBoY7JKd

Unsure; I was using Scoop instead of Chocolatey because I found it easier. But WinGet feels better than Scoop, so... I imagine if WinGet proves to be good enough (it's still too soon to tell, even if promising) folks will gradually migrate to it.

Might it have been wiser to collate these projects together, rather than starting a new one?

The blog post goes into more detail about why a new approach was chosen: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/windows-package-manager-preview/ … But also: I'm just trying this out; not involved with the project in any way except as a user.

Got that, but it doesn't really actually *say* much: "We have already talked with a few of the well-known package manager teams. " I am curious as to the in-depth discussions, etc.
