With Linux, the situation is much different because programs are open source and serials/licenses aren’t an issue. to download/install a program before updating with the Windows Package Manager. I would have to use something like Chocolately or Ninite, etc. Say I have a dozen programs I want to install on a fresh Windows 10 machine I can’t make that happen with Windows Package Manager. The other drawback I see with Windows Package Manager is it’s uselessness in setting up a fresh install. Maybe there is an exclusion command I missed.
Winget Upgrade would be a burden if I still want to use a licensed, Pro version of some program that would be included in the winget upgrade –all command. Using a tool like “Patch My PC,” allows the user to uncheck any undesired updates and update all of the rest which could be over a dozen.
For example, “Glary Utilities Pro.” The program updates occasionally however, the updates are so minor that even an older Pro version of the program is better than a new “free” version, so I wouldn’t want it updated. Several programs I run are one year or even lifetime “gratis” license programs with the serial associated directly with the installed program and version. I perceive a problem that prevents a Linux like experience.
