    I update it with Brew on macOS and Scoop [1] on Windows (but I guess it is included in other package managers such as chocolatey).

    Of course, a built-in auto-updater would be good, but a packaged version is a nice workaround for me.

    I suggest creating your own PowerShell scripts and distributing them via scoop, by making a steam deck bucket, some windows power users should be able to help, then just make a video on how to install those scripts, or try reaching out to Chris Titus on YT, he made a windows de-bloater tool using PowerShell scripts

    Thanks to [Scoop](https://scoop.sh/), installing Neovim, and all the necessary tools such as ripgrep, fd, bat, and even Alacritty is pretty easy in Windows, and although it doesn't feel nearly as fast as in a Linux machine, it is still very performant, especially when comparing it to Emacs and VSCode.

    I almost exclusively SSH nowadays, so when I'm on Windows I use Scoop and use Windows Terminal, PowerShell Core with Starship, openssh (or git-with-openssh), and coreutils. This setup fits fairly well with my general Linux workflow. All of this easily installable with scoop.
