minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink12•1 year agoBut Windows does have an app store, and has for ages now.
minus-squareTekhnelinkfedilink29•1 year agoYeah but it’s awful, and can only install UWP apps which are just plain bad
minus-squareJayayess1190linkfedilink6•1 year agoWhen is the last time you’ve used it? Microsoft opened it up and now you can find all types of non UWP apps in it.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•1 year agoStill ass though. Just install/update App Installer and use winget.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•1 year agoSure, but pretty much every common application most people use is available, which is fine for the majority of people such as OPs mom.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•1 year agoMost of them are, but there are non UWP apps on there too.
