2 spaces? 4 spaces? One tab?
Ah, reminds me of that time I requested a .editorconfig file in a Microsoft repo: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/issues/329

MS and Windows gets a lot of (well deserved) hate, but winget is just fantastic!
Take dropbox as an example. This is what the yaml manifest looks like for that if you install it through winget. It literally has a hardcoded link to an .exe installer hosted by dropbox and then just set the flags to silent. I am not spreading misinformation, you are.

Windows is the malware compatibility layer for everything
It's not quite the same though, as there are different considerations when using a repository of things a unified group has decided should be included and built (or slightly modified existing) packages for and a repo where anyone can submit a package that will go through some level of vetting. In the end I still believe most this discussion is really about individuals and how much trust they apply towards different groups and sources and is not really about Linux or Windows in particular as much.

installed from winget, where is it located?
I never used winget, but probably: - https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/issues/107858 - https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/4027

The Unreasonable Effectiveness of VLC - A Comprehensive Exploration of a Multimedia Powerhouse
It's probably not on the Store, winget pulls from both the Store and a community collection of manifests on GitHub: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs

Seven.zip
I think that's part of the problem, if you don't have that package manager to bootstrap your signature key ring, DNS is your next best bootstrap. It is, of course, a terrible bootstrap for trust, but it is one so many users on Windows have been relying on for such a long time.
For power users on any modern Windows 10/Windows 11 there is at least WinGet now. Its manifests repo is becoming a very interesting (open) source of truth for common Windows applications. Admittedly, it in most cases doesn't seem to be checking specific code signatures in most cases either, but at least includes SHA checksums.
For instance, 7zip's manifests: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifes...
It's too bad there's still not a great option for "average user that doesn't know/trust how to use a CLI", given how sadly polluted the Microsoft Store can be for many common, especially Open Source, applications. For direct instance, because winget kindly includes Microsoft Store results when searching, there is a "7zip 22" in the Microsoft Store that costs some amount of money (winget details say "PaidUnknownPrice" for the pricing information; I'm on a corporate machine right now with the actual Store access locked so can't search in the actual Store right now) and the Publisher is listed as RepackagerExpress.com. (That website currently doesn't go anywhere, giving it a spot check.)
Having seen this, I may boot up my personal machine and try to report this specific Store listing for violating the Store's Open Source policies, though I'm unsure if such whackamole is all that useful. (Seems like it might be a useful winget feature request for it to provide Store Report URLs.)

[Rant] Your Software Isn't the Only One Our Company Uses FFS
Ya I use Chocolatey sometimes but now I use WingetUI which can pull from multiple sources including Chocolatey. Although If anyone decides to try it the constant update notifications can be quite annoying but they can be disabled if you wish.

Tools to achieve a 10x developer workflow on Windows
Second, install all the packages and programming languages. For this I use WingetUI, an amazing GUI for finding and managing packages from all sorts of windows package managers. Edit WingetUI-Packages.json by deleting the packages you don't want, then import the file into WingetUI and install the packages.
- The software set up part takes significantly more time for me than the hardware assembly part

JAPM - TUI package manager
The ncurses tui is nice, maybe you can make a wrapper with ideas from topgrade and/or Wingetui

Scoop

... provides a nice interface to both.

Can you advise me, if there is a platform similar to "Steam" or "Google Play Store" dedicated exclusively to software for Windows?
I use scoop from command line. But after I saw your post, I searched and found WingetUI which might be a good GUI solution.
What are some alternatives?
ansible.windows - Windows core collection for Ansible
proxinject - a socks5 proxy injection tool for Windows, making selected processes proxy-able
Scoop - A command-line installer for Windows.
scoop-directory - A searchable directory of buckets for the scoop package manager for Windows
ctags - A maintained ctags implementation
WinGetty - An open source REST Backend for creating a private WinGet Repo without any cloud dependency.
appget - Free and open package manager for Windows.
