      It’s that easy on Windows as well, depending on the package manager you prefer the commands are

      Winget (native)

      winget install -e --id Hibbiki.Chromium

      Chocolatey (third party)

      choco install chromium-stable

        Winget is awesome! It’s nice to see Microsoft finally focusing on adding basic quality-of-life features to their OS. First there was Windows Terminal, then proper bash support with WSL, and now package management with Winget! To be fair, it’s not 100% there yet. Tried installing ffmpeg with winget recently, and it took like three times longer than apt-get would have. But hey, better than downloading EXE’s from some random website. Really excited for what they’ll add next. Who knows, maybe Windows will finally be a viable desktop OS some day!

          I prefer my pacman being able to cd to a directory and install there rather than winget’s “-location direct path” but yeah Linux is faster and better for tech illiterate people like myself
