Can you install applications in any other way on windows?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, Windows has an app store, and a CLI package manager called Winget now.

But the Windows app store is garbage and Windows users are pathologically afraid of the terminal so...effectively no.

I tried giving Winget a try but it kind of sucks.

You can just run the portable version without installing.

Yes, you can install Chocolatey without using a browser.
