Similarly, I read winget as "wing it". The traditional package managers had better names: apt, yum, pacman. I know it's a terrible reason to like a package manager, but still, a good name goes a long way.
As someone who has to administer several hundred Windows servers and several thousand Windows workstations in our fleet (alongside our Linux and Mac systems), I was very sad that winget was not as good as I had hoped for. Chocolatey is still far better IMO, and neither is anywhere near as good as apt, rpm, etc.
I don't use neither arch nor void, but I have to leave this unpopular(?) opinion out somewhere: xbps is a million times better than pacman simply for tracking dll dependencies.

You forgot every linux user’s favorite package manager: Snap

apt purge snapmmorschel@feddit.de · 6 pts · 3y
Had to do that yesterday.
Have a Nextcloud instance running and wanted to upgrade from Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04.
Couldn't do it because Ubuntu would not connect to the snap-store because the service wouldn't start.
A purge later and now I'm running Jammy Jellyfish.

No love for flatpaks?
hawkwind@lemmy.management · 8 pts · 3y
There never was love for flatpaks and there never will be. I’ll never forgive them for killing my son.

Jeez, howd did you manage to fuck up a flatpak install that bad?

Shouldn't have tried ricing the ECG display at the ICU.

Firefox flaptak, can't play a video and go back a few seconds, or the video freezes but audio continues. Such a basic feature and it's broken...
crystal@feddit.de · 2 pts · 3y
I never noticed that issue. Do you have hardware acceleration and Wayland mode (if applicable) enabled?
Araozu@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
TIL I have to manually enable hardware acceleration. Will try it. Still not a good default experience, hope it gets better soon.
I don't think its a issue with wayland mode, I tried Xorg/Wayland/Nvidia/Amd/Intel/Arch/Ubuntu, always had that problem.

Which category would you put scoop in? I like it and use it regularly on windows, I find it much better than choco. No experience with Winget
SchrodingersPat@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 3y
I don't have any experience with scoop, but if you like it that's great. I don't want to yuck anyone's yum.

Linux package managers on the left, windows package manager on the right

Don't you dare put nix together with these fossils of package management.
