Actually Windows does have a package manager now, it is called winget.

So when is MS going to start using it for basic OS stuff? :)

Hopefully once it's actually usable, which might be a long time away --- the last I looked, it didn't even support dependencies or uninstalling...

Uninstallation is now "experimental", and dependency support is still missing. The latter is what I'd consider a core functionality of a package manager, so my original comment stands.

Version 1.0 is out. Uninstall is no longer experimental. You really should do some more research again. You are doing yourself no service by being so smug.

That still cannot even uninstall anything, right? That was promised as some time "in the future".

It can uninstall. Version 1.0 is out and uninstall is no longer experimental.
