• Ask HN: How important is a zero-install experience to you?

  "Create account" seems to be the the new "install" experience on the web. I've noticed almost every "Show HN" that requires creating a new account gets complaints. Might be a vocal minority... (I just use a password manager to generate/store new account info so it's not a big deal for me.) This has inspired me to create a user account system with anonymous guest accounts. You can use the system right away, then... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• (NOOB QUESTION) I am very stupid. I know this is not about software downloads, but I just dont know what to do with the stuff on the site of the Youtube-Music Github site.

  So this is a good example of how non-programmers shouldn't be trying to use GitHub as an app store. The README for this project tells you that Windows users should install the software using "scoop". And there's a link to https://scoop.sh/. - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago

• Until further notice, think twice before using Google to download software

  I've been using Scoop on Windows [0]. Chocolatey is probably the more "professional" answer, but Scoop doesn't require Admin privileges, which I could never quite figure out how to do with Chocolatey. [0] https://scoop.sh/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Linus Tech Tips - Windows Doesn’t Suck! Microsoft Just Wants You To Think So… January 21, 2023 at 10:00AM

  They briefly mentioned package managers winget and chocolatey. I would also recommend getting scoop. It works great out of the box and keeps installs clean as they are put in a scoop folder in your user folder rather than having folders created all over the place in your drive (creating their own folders in C:/ or Program Files and Program Files x86). - Source: Reddit / 2 months ago

• Podman 4.3 on Windows 10: Install

  What I used was Scoop. It is a third-party package manager for Windows. It enables us to install and uninstall packages in a clean way. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• dont want online ones

  There's a package for Windows PowerShell called scoop that has been a lifesaver for me when using Windows. - Source: Reddit / 2 months ago

• I have an idea for an application: automating the reinstallation of Microsoft Windows. You are interested?

  As for the software downloads on reinstall, services such as Ninite and Windows Remix can do this for you and require minimal effort to generate and download the standalone installer. Additional tools such as package managers could have quick scripts or one-liners set up to automate the use of them so they can install tons of up-to-date software similar to the likes of Ninite and Windows Remix. Some package... - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• using vim in windows

  I install applications like vim using scoop.sh when stuck on Windows without admin access. It will install most apps into your user directory. Makes it easy to manage updates, too. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• Devops engineers who use windows, how?

  There is also package manager Scoop (https://scoop.sh) which is more like Homebrew as it is geared for mainly CLI programs although you can add extra buckets including the Non-Portable bucket that uses standard MSI/EXE installers. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• Error running lua script on windows

  The feature was added in v0.8.1 via this pull request. I'd recommend using scoop to install a more up to date version of neovim since it is more updated than (what I presume to be) the outdated winget manifest. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

  I used to be in that place too, I got emacs working on windows (without WSL and even with native comp) using scoop and git bash. - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago

  On Windows one can use https://scoop.sh too. There's a "zig" package for numbered releases, and a "zig-dev" package for nightly releases. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Watch out for mining malware in afterburner!

  So, use ublock and even better yet use a package manager so you don't even need to look up websites to download programs. I use Scoop. - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago
