Related problem

As of now Nushell doesn't provide a straightforward way to be installed with different scopes (user or machine) depending on the preferences. This leads to confusion and issues (see https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/13281, https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/11240, https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/12748, https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/5927)

Describe the solution you'd like

Nushell should be possible to be installed via winget with both user and machine scope winget install --id Nushell.Nushell --scope user -> installs with user scope winget install --id Nushell.Nushell --scope machine -> installs with machine scope (requires elevated privileges) The default should be user scope

Describe alternatives you've considered

Keep it as is and default to user scope. Use winget install --id Nushell.Nushell --override "ALLUSERS=1" as a workaround to force per machine installation.
