Are you saying any sort of majority of PC software is now delivered via winget?

‘Standard’ in this context is referring to the frequency/popularity of use, especially among the people for whom file extensions would be confusing.

They’d find it rather difficult to just download programs from random websites and run them, considering the file will not be marked executable by default and they can’t just “download and double-click”.

People are used to app stores on their phone, I don’t think anybody is confused by e.g. gnome software

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules
2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of “peasantry” to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
