Don't you prefer to have them all in one place?

I prefer to have them all in Windows env. Flexibility of Linux (WSL) + Windows stuffs (PowerShell) and a coolest UI of Windows Terminal. One more thing, I use scoop for programs installing.

Out of curiosity, why did you choose scoop over chocolatey?

It's simpler than choco at installing new softwares, no UAC, focusing on open-sources, installing on user-scope as default. I feel controlling scoop is nearly similar to brew or some popular linux package managers which I've used.

More details for anyone want to know:
