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.
