Just lying again. You'd have to go and search what words to type in first.

Lol. No. If I know the name of the package/application, then for me it's just "sudo packman -S [name]

I don't know what you aren't understanding about this. All 3 OSs have package managers that function similarly. What I'm talking about is when the software is not available in the package manager....

There is a package manager for Windows (WinGet I believe), it just isn't commonly used, and definitely not by casual users.

If I know the name of the package/application

How do you know it?

There is a package manager for Windows

Yes, that's what I said.

WinGet I believe

LOL it's just called Microsoft store, my dude.

Microsoft store is not a package manager, it's a marketplace. Those are different things.

They're functionally indifferent, for purposes of this conversation.
