Back when I used Windows 10 and 11 for a bit, I did indeed use winget
It was… Okay. I did find it is quicker and often just safer to install programs with it, no problems there, but installing programs unattended? I couldn’t do it reliably
A few problems that occurred was: requesting admin permission at beginning or near the end of the program’s install, uncommonly some programs would just… Fail to install, and programs like Unity would automatically update to the latest which absolutely what should not just happen, even if it is managed by Unity Hub (A workaround is pinning Unity which worked well). I just couldn’t update my programs while i do something else which is what i usually do, it felt like the whole “waiting for Windows to update” for package managers
Updating programs can be done, but I found myself waiting around the computer instead of trusting it to do it successfully
