The best thing about 'winget' is being able to have a powershell/batch script in you usb stick to install the last version of most of the software you use.

The only 'requirement' to use winget is updating Microsoft Store after installing Windows and install 'App Installer' from the Store, at least in Windows 10.

I've been slowly digging into Winget Configuration [0] since I started exploring the Dev Home (Preview) app on Windows 11. I still have too many machines that can't upgrade to 11 right now, but Winget Configuration seems a real neat way to bootstrap new machines. (I know that you can use Winget Configuration on Windows 10 without the Dev Home UI, but the UI is one of the more compelling things about it, I think.)
