I can’t shake this feeling that these are lacking something, like I remember looking at Fira for the first time and being like wow, even jetbrains mono had a sort of generic charm. These on the other hand, are just meh.

Maybe they are someone’s cup of tea though. I am sure in 6 months I will be hearing about how GitHub invented the developer font of some rubbish like that.

Geez, feels like just this year that over 64 year olds outnumbered under 14 year olds.

Choco is pretty good but it does have less packages than say, brew.

As someone who has packaged for Mac’s with brew and RPMs and debs on Linux, packaging for windows is a total pain. Choco uses nuget 2 for self hosted repos which means you need to run a server for your packages, which there are things like the PPAs for Linux and Brew uses GitHub releases so you don’t need to host anything yourself to provide binaries.

This is also on top of windows needing extra work to develop for, because windows filesystem works differently enough to need code specially for windows. All of this means that windows users suffer on the open source software front.

How did they get the orange bit to stay orange when everything else is blackened?

This is fantastic work to an immediate problem. Thank you.

There is something amazing about someone just sharing a solution like this without expectation of anything back, and even if this isn’t the best right solution, it contributes to the global commons, and improves society.
