Any updates on this? I'd like to see more tools getting on winget don't want to pollute my laptop with more third party package managers.

#1782, #1673, and #1465 are all basically asking the same thing (TLDR: it isn't going to be done by the maintainer but if you want to do it yourself you can).

Installation via winget is up to whoever packages neofetch for it.

Listing of installed packages is something we can add to neofetch.

whoever packages neofetch for it.

Currently it's nobody.

winget requires either an EXE installer with a silent install option or an MSI. If anyone can provide me with an official link to either of those two, I'll happily maintain the package for it.

We're working on:

• microsoft/winget-cli/issues/182
• microsoft/winget-cli/issues/140

Those should make it even easier in the Windows Package Manager 1.3 release.
