the lead dev and architect for OneGet jumped on the reddit thread yesterday and answered a bunch of questions: http://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/2khkpo/windows_10_... using the username : fearthecowboy (his twitter is the same, @fearthecowboy ) This was the top comment: http://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/2khkpo/windows_10_...

Good job at not reading the article! Had you read it, you would've learned that the commands work like this: Find-Package Firefox Install-Package Firefox I admit it's not as easy as on e.g. Debian: sudo apt-get remove iceweasel sudo echo deb http://packages.linuxmint.com debian import >>/etc/apt/sources.list sudo gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 3EE67F3D0FF405B2 sudo gpg --export 3EE67F3D0FF405B2 > 3EE67F3D0FF…
This is a deliberately contrived example, the only line that matter is the last one: sudo apt-get install firefox
But why "Install-Package", "Add-Package" and "Update-Package" - it's not like you can install, add or update anything else with this tool.

Given that more android devices are sold than windows, iOS and OS X combined, I would say it is a mere observation of fact that the past few years every year has been the year of linux. Linux on the desktop on the other hand...
> While Windows and Mac users have to run graphical installers — you know, where you hit Next a few times and try to avoid installing bundled crapware — Linux users can just open up a command line and type sudo apt-get install vlc. Right. As if VLC on windows comes with crapware. As if apt-get [0] never asked cryptic messages [1]. [0] or yaourt or any other package manager [1] and it's more about the package than the…
At least it did, in a way

Android actually _is_ a Linux desktop system. It is a GUI on top of a Java based virtual machine on top of a Linux kernel. This Linux desktop has actually overthrown both Windows and iOS. The market share was 85% in Q2 2014 according to: http://thenextweb.com/google/2014/07/31/android-reached-reco... Android just uses another type of input than classical keyboards and mice.

Android is a mobile phone OS and as suchhas a marginal market share on desktop. Windows still has over 90% market share on desktop (http://www.netmarketshare.com/)

The release notes here ( https://github.com/OneGet/oneget/blob/master/release-notes.m... ) show a few mentions of defining and getting dependencies. I'm going to guess the answer is 'yes'.
Dependency management is more than 'defining and getting dependencies'. What if package X relies on version 1 of package A, and and package Y relies on version 2 of package A. Will they work together, each in an isolated sandbox, or will you have dependency conflicts? Package management is a really difficult problem to solve, which linux package managers have barely been able to solve. In addition to this, each progr…

I take it you haven't used PowerShell much ...
I have tried PowerShell a few times but I can't never appreciate it. Yes, it technical superior than it's counterparts on Linux by piping objects instead of mangling text, but the syntax of PowerShell is just too convoluted. I have concluded that when doing command line you want to write commands and not program code to execute. That's why bash is usually straight on and powerful for the 95% commands you do. It's edg…
instpkg32.exe /DefaultSettings:ALL_DEFAULTS
Install-Package is a PowerShell cmdlet and thus gets sane and consistent argument parsing and discovery for free. Something like instpkg32.exe simply won't exist for a new feature here.
As for your complaints, I can gladly answer them and other questions, but it's probably a bit OT here.

All the wonderful thing I can not do with my Android phone. Like uninstall the Samsung apps. Or have root. Or install my distro on it.

That's bullocks, you're just changing definitions to suit your needs. Android is a mobile phone OS and as suchhas a marginal market share on desktop. Windows still has over 90% market share on desktop ( http://www.netmarketshare.com/ )
Same to you :-) Windows is also a mobile phone OS since Win 8.
