Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    There is a single command on windows to install any software with using just words (like yay?)

    Winget.run

    [–] nexussapphire@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    There's winget but it has almost nothing on it and no matter how new the iso it typically doesn't work out of the box and you need to update it through Microsoft store. Tried using it instead of downloading stuff off the Internet. Only the most popular apps and not even all of them are there which is pretty annoying. It's also so much slower that most package managers and tries the Microsoft store first unless you specify.

    It's an improvement but it's not fixing any of the real issues with modern windows.

    The original appget was better, but Microsoft basically killed it.

    [–] nexussapphire@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

    That sounds like an interesting read. Before I switched to Linux I thought of making an app that watches driver websites and either notifies or pulls updates for you to install.

    Short of some sort of user maintained database of download links and support page links/product number (for database lookup), I don't think I could have scaled it at any real capacity. I wonder if GitHub frowns on a project using it as a big database of yaml or json files.

    There was a program called Secunia that did exactly this. It was amazing. Sadly they were acquired and ended the free offering.

    An important context that's missing from the blog post is Keivan Beigi is one of the core contributor of Sonarr, a popular app in the *arr scene. Microsoft probably realized it late after offering him a job, got cold feet and ghost him.

    😂what a fun fact

    There are administration tools available for system deployment but they're generally closed source and limited to the software selection available.

    Unsure about command line, but PC Decrapifier is useful for removing preloaded software.

    Ninite is useful to install software in batch.

    Ninite can also install Malwarebytes, which is quite useful.

    Between Windows Defender and Malwarebytes I generally don't recommend anything else. And then Malwarebytes, which is extremely effective for free, is the only security suite worth paying for if you want to "set it and forget it".

    On the Microsoft side of things, a great deal of software can be deployed via command line.

    It's possible to build an offline installer for Office and Office 365 for example via the office deployment tool.

    Additionally, it looks like if you pay for Ninite Pro, it supports command line.
