scoop install sudo

Is scoop better than chocolatey?

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 8 months ago

i have both but i do prefer scoop over chocolatey since it's a bit simpler to use. it's also more like homebrew.

winget-ui will pull from chocolatey and scoop and winget, though.

Way more stable and reliable. It just doesn't install programs normally (installed programs won't show up under add and remove)

I've been using gsudo for that for a while, but it's nice to have native options.

Didn’t Microsoft try to patent sudo a few years back?
