Sounds like you clearly haven't used Windows in over a decade, or even close to two.
I haven't had to install a network driver since Windows XP. Even then it had drivers for most cards built in.
When I last installed Windows I had to google where do download Libreoffice, Firefox, Steam, Audacity, VLC, Gimp and a lot more software.
On Linux most came preinstalled, the rest was one click in the Repository ("Store" for Generation Smartphone)
Just use winget in PowerShell.
That's a "terminal" for generation typewriter.
Chocolatey, winget
All that stuff they listed is packaged, versioned, and handled. I'm pretty sure there's gui's too, if you're into that
For chocolatey, maybe. I haven't seen a Winget GUI yet.
Microsoft really should do that, but I think the "but what about our App Store numbers" guys would rather that didn't happen. I don't believe that anybody outside of people who were already otherwise Linux users has touched winget.
