Description
Simplify and homogenize selfhosing
The whole point of winget is to simplify and homogenize the process of packages in windows.
having it rely on azure is counter productive.
should be as simple as installing (either via winget or flathub) and putting the manifest in a location.
Not making ppl feel smart about jumping trough meaningless hoops and venderlocking.
