With over 10,000 packages available, Microsoft's new command-line package manager, winget, simplifies app management on Windows 10 and 11. Users can install, update, and uninstall applications with a single command, streamlining what was once a cumbersome process that required hunting for installers online.
The Windows Terminal, introduced in the 2022 update of Windows 11, centralizes access to PowerShell, Command Prompt, and the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Prior to this unified app, managing commands across separate windows was tedious, making users reluctant to utilize command-line tools.
WSL allows users to run Linux natively within Windows Terminal, including GUI applications, enhancing productivity for file transfers and command-line tasks. The convenience of using winget alongside WSL and the unified Terminal experience significantly improves software management and user efficiency.
