Yep. I use both quite a bit. Chocolatey is great!

The point Im trying to make is package managers are better suited for developers and the lack of a great alternative for installing software on the distros I've used is not helping with the mass appeal of Linux.

I could be wrong here as I've never tried any of the "home computer" distros (mint, ubuntu).

Doesn't seem to have stopped people on Android and iPhone from figuring it out!

This. I don't get this complaint some people make. I've literally never heard anyone complaining about the existence of app stores on mobile devices.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
