Does anyone even use winget? I tried but its repositories never have the tools I need in it. Scoop has been superior for me in every way.


UniGetUI (formerly WingetUI) is a really great tool since it supports multiple package managers.

I'm personally trying to use it inside configman running as SYSTEM and have gotten it working for the most part but I have not seen anything module based from Microsoft themselves.

Yes what I am doing can be done with intune but that's another story for another time. RIP Store for Business. I just want to deploy PowerBI and have it always be current and self updating.


I have found it useful. I used to install PowerShell 7.x, kubectl, Bicep (Azure language for deploying resources), etc. It works fine. The biggest problem I have is I cannot use it to install helm because the helm package is not shipped by the helm team (I don't trust packages shipped by third parties).


Have you asked the Helm team why they don't ship their own package? It might be worth the effort.


Yeah for the things they have its great, I've just found that they lack a lot of stuff. To this day they still don't have Apache Maven in the repository. I just use scoop, I've found that its repositories just have way more tools and it's way easier to contribute to.
