Chocolatey NuGet is a Machine Package Manager, somewhat like apt-get, but built with Windows in mind.
- While Chocolatey feels similar to the dpkg package management system, it's only for Windows, and Synaptic is only for Linux, so you can't use them on the same systems. Buster_Blue • Mar 2018 • 2 agrees and 2 disagrees

I use this a lot, because I am on Ubuntu. Even though there is an Add/Remove program utility, this usually has more and I can find things easier in it. If something is not in the list of programs I just add or update my repository.
