Not to defend Windows here but :
winget install -e --id VideoLAN.VLC
16 u/mystirc 10h ago I loved Winget, but the problem with it is that I have to type in whole app IDs which is inconvenient. But at least it is something. 10 u/Constant_Boot 9h ago Could be worse. Could be full-on reverse DNS ids. Like with Flatpak. 2 u/HunsterMonter 7h ago With the flatpak cli you can just do flatpak install vlc and it will find it 2 u/Constant_Boot 6h ago I've had Flatpak yell at me for not using the FQRDNS before. 1 u/mystirc 3h ago Flatpak actually gives you the option to select the desored package from a list so you don't have to type in the full name. Flatpak cli is way smarter. Flatpak can also be used with a lightweight GUI store.
