    Thank you for the clarification, are they all still separate? I Just earlier today noticed that this one VM I use in the lab had Uniget but I originally had installed winget UI, and I noticed that it has options for the chocolately repo.

      The uniget is a front end for multiple package managers, with a GUI front. But Chocolatey is still a separate thing, same with winget. But the GUI gives you an easier front for using those package managers without remembering commands.

      When it comes to WingetUI vs UniGet… I had to look that up. My guess is WingetUI is abandoned. And was a fork of UniGet

      This repo hasn’t been touched in 3 years https://github.com/rumplin/WingetUI This website https://winget-ui.org/index.html#faq I have no idea if it’s the official one, but it doesn’t link to the open source project it says that backs it. Which is sketchy. So UniGet seems to be the actual official project that’s moving forward.

      My guess is UniGet is a bigger project, supporting multiple package managers for multiple OS (supports Windows/Mac/Linux).
