Yes huh
Just lying again. You'd have to go and search what words to type in first.
I don't know what you aren't understanding about this. All 3 OSs have package managers that function similarly. What I'm talking about is when the software is not available in the package manager....
You've really never used Windows before, have you? That's once again not how it works. Maybe give it a go and come back after you've got some experience.
You could make an argument for such a thing insofar as time is money. And like they say "Linux is free so long as your time is worth nothing."
Lol. No. If I know the name of the package/application, then for me it's just "sudo packman -S [name]
There is a package manager for Windows (WinGet I believe), it just isn't commonly used, and definitely not by casual users.
How do you know it?
Yes, that's what I said.
LOL it's just called Microsoft store, my dude.
Microsoft store is not a package manager, it's a marketplace. Those are different things.
They're functionally indifferent, for purposes of this conversation.
