Even windows can do this now with winget. It's not quite as mature as I'd like it, but it's got nearly everything I want.
How does it compare with chocolatey?
Ive been using that for years and this is my first time learning of winget.
Some stuff is better, but I overall prefer chocolatey because it is closer to classic package manager experience. Winget will still open the installer windows of some applications. But you can use both, no need to decide for one, they install into the same directories and will manage the other's applications just fine (as they're all standard Windows installers).
That's why winget has
