        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.

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