I suggest that this community should consider bringing in the "Daily Simple Questions" threads. They were fun to participate and build community. Perhaps make the threads weekly, instead of daily as the community continues to grow with Redfugees.

Don't worry about the reputation / !check system, though. Upvotes for good advice is sufficient, IMO.

So does anyone use https://chocolatey.org/ to download?

I haven't yet, but had gone there to check the sha256 of some files to verify downloads from sites.

I used to, but with the official Microsoft app installer (Winget) I haven't had the need lately (nor have I bothered with ninite, lately).

Winget search ...
Winget install ...

E.g.,

winget search steam

[Shows results]

winget install valve.steam

Tip: Toss in a -i to get interactive (as opposed to silent) installer. Good for when you want to, say, install Steam on different drive.

First time hearing it. Thanks for the heads up.
