ShareX VS Chocolatey

Could you give ShareX a shot? I'm interested to see if it gets around that.

* normal flow: start => capture

ShareX also supports a ton of different other workflows. After capture it can automatically add the image to your clipboard, or open it in an external image editor, or upload it to imgur and add the link to your clipboard, etc etc

Windows-only recommendation so this is only somewhat related - but if you want a powerful, (mostly) well-thought-out, (seemingly) lightweight screenshot taker + editor on Windows, do have a look at ShareX[1].

It's completely free and you can tweak various workflows and map them to key combinations. I've had a "manual screenshot -> optional editing -> upload to imgur/save to clipboard" workflow bound to a mouse button (Logitech G600) for over 5 years and use it multiple times a day.

I downloaded it through Steam but whatever other download options they have should auto-update just fine as well, I would guess.

I only see this now but apparently the program is open-source. Never even knew that.

JPEGView - lightweight image viewer for Windows. ShareX - screen capture tool with other nice features.

Uhh, try shareX? It's free. It allows dragging from its history view. Although some people think it's too bloated (has many other features)

Sharex is a free and open source program that will do a lot of great things. I use it at work all the time.

The specific package manager depends on your Operating System. In macOS the most popular tool is Homebrew. In Linux distributions like Ubuntu/Debian, you can use apt, and in RedHat/CentOS distributions you can use yum. In Windows the most popular tool is Chocolatey.

You can use chocolatey too, it's a bit older and has a lot of useful things. But I think winget will dominate because it's official now

And the last tip, to manage all of these and update easily I recommend chocolatey package manager.

Of course, consider that at least 95% of the time the friend you were talking about uses the console for downloading stuff might not be out of necessity, but out of preference. It's perfectly possible for the shell to be more convenient on Linux for things that can be done graphically as easy as on Windows - at some point, it's faster to open a terminal and (for example) pacman -Ss slicer, decide on Cura and sudo pacman -S cura than to look for 3D slicers in a store or browser and install the one you want that way, especially if you're a fast typer. And if I was lying here, people wouldn't use things like Chocolatey on Windows, would they?

Chocolatey: package manager

So.. I think maybe linux is not for me? It's free, cool and fresh, but if you don't value your time. But I care about my time and this sarcastic phrase gives nothing good to me. Maybe, I should try FreeBSD for some "really good UNIXxy(?) philosophy and experience"? Or just install win 10 LTSC (how they call it) and do some tweaks with it and at the moment try to not brake it? (also, "chocolatey" seems not always working and have a lot of broken packages, so chance, that I will download software from random sites and get a Trojan only increases)

If you're looking for quick start, our usual recommendation is PDQ Deploy or Chocolatey for mass deployment.

There is also choco/chocolatey which you can use as a package manager but we will stick with scoop for this article.

In addition there is a website https://ninite.com/ that can batch install a bunch of common stuff for you easily. There's also https://chocolatey.org/ which gives you a command prompt style batch install for multiple programs and runtimes all at once. I'll run my choco script on a new PC and it'll install all 30 or so odd things I need all at once and that same script updates them all.
