Hi,

I don't use in my machines since Windows since 1999, and if I have to
buy a computer with it (which is the default) one of the first things I
do is to erase Windows and replace it with (Manjaro) Gnu/Linux. But my
sister recently bought a Windows laptop and she need to run some
(government provided!) software for her work, which only runs on
Windows. So I started to assist her on installing this machine with the
programs she was used to on Linux. The first thing I installed was an
installer (Scoop[1]) and a package installer (Chocolatey[2]). After
that, all installations are just one command away of distance, without
worrying too much. Scoop and Chocolatey have important diferences, but I
think that a Leo package could be created for that systems, so Leo
installation on windows becomes just a one liner.

Hope it helps,

Offray
