Two years later and this is still gold

[@Koalapazzo]

Very useful, thank you!

[@a.thales7641]

A very good video. Thanks!

Fantastic video!

So I assume Chocolatey is installing everything on the OS drive (C:\). Is there a way to make it install everything on a different data drive? Say D:\ drive?

Thanks

Have you tried scoop installer for Windows? It seems simpler to me.

Great video - one thing - the Chocolatey demo you gave is only for individuals, NOT for admins. If an admin leverages the public repo on behalf of all the devices in the org they are on a fast path to get rate limited by Chocolatey. (ask me how I know)

How do you know?

Sometimes, the termnal size is too small. I can't see clearly on my phone. 😔😔

[@suyashjain7277]

Can we compare this pm on performance ? what you say which one is better ?

[@JunkBondTrader]

Ferrari.

If any application is installed via Chocolatey then will that one remain auto updated as well or we need to do that manually via Chocolatey command line 🤔?

[@TechGuruDirect]

You need to use the choco upgrade command: docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/choco/commands/upgrade

auf dem neusten windows ab jahr 2022 einfach cmd => winget install dies, winget install das. läuft! und am ende ein upgrade --all --silent

[@gabrielandy9272]

the only advantage i see on this is to create a script that automatic install the programs i like when i format windows, i don't see much reason to use it on a daily to daily bases, so like format windows install it, and then run you script with you favorite programs available in the repository all would be automatic installed without user interface.
