When setting up a new Windows machine, I used to rely on [Scoop](https://scoop.sh/) and [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/) for package management. Both are excellent tools, but when Microsoft introduced [Windows Package Manager (winget)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/), I decided to give it a try on my latest machine setup.
