   And they're doing a wonderful job with it. PowerShell is spectacular if   
   you bother to learn how to use it, and you can do a good load of routine   
   things in the Command Prompt. Winget, in particular, allows me to do   
   much of what I would use sudo apt update to do.   
      
   It sounds to me like you're upset that Windows now provides the same   
   benefits as Linux does without any of the compromises.
