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.

    Choco > winget imo

    I’d argue that it’s not really an opinion, but objective fact.

    [–] HW07 2 points 1 year ago

    I find that winget tends to just grab M$ Store packages, essentially becoming just an alternative CLI frontend.

    Chocolatey, however, actually grabs the native program. And it isn't developed by Microsoft.

    Even Scoop is good enough, however programs might not work perfectly because it uses portable versions of the program.

    Scoop is way better than both of those as it bypasses installing apps completely

    [–] HW07 1 points 1 year ago

    But some apps don't function properly if not installed. So I think that chocolatey is better.
