You can use those software repositories through WSL2, using apt as per usual. And Windows now has WinGet so you can install software just like you would with apt/yum/pacman etc.

It's definitely not as robust - you can't uninstall stuff using WinGet but the concept is there.

There’s a rapidly growing third-party ecosystem growing around WinGet, as well. It’s promising. Here’s an example of a WinGet webgui thingy: winstall.[1][2]

Do you or wider HN users have any picks for WSL/2 and/or WinGet tools?
