Package manager with a UI? I like my apt and dnf thank you very much.
You can still use winget by itself from the command line! The UI is just there for convenience and automation
Wut?
I've never gone to a UI when I want to automate something, a sane CLI is much more predictable and consistent.
Winget-UI specifically can run the upgrade tool automatically for you, that's what I meant for "automation". You could also add a scheduler to run Winget by itself every day if you need to.
