Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

I think Winget need add more features like...
If become the best Package manager over the world?
WinGet plus!


The current situation:

  • Winget-->MS store ok
  • Winget-->win32 applications ok
  • Winget-->Install-Module and update Module of the PowerShell (Repetitive functionality?-PowerShellGet)Clip_20220121_161534.png
  • Winget-->the app in WSL system (Possible conflicts with other pack manager software?)
  • Winget-->Edge PWA (save URL as desktop app. Have some problem)Clip_20220121_161534.png
  • Winget-->Edge extensions
  • Winget-->Android app (WSA has dead)Clip_20220121_104106.png
  • Winget-->Python Pip Module Manager (Pip)
  • Winget-->Manage games for other gaming platforms (Just like GOG GALAXY does, sync games and accounts)
  • Winget-->System core components and some hardware driversClip_20220121_104106.png

Extra samples

PowerShell Module
Module

Also make alias from Import-Module Update-Module... (PowerShellGet)

Edge extensions

Proposed technical implementation details

Use some Interfaces for third-party programs/hardware like adb. sync the android app
Maybe like...
wsaadb
Build a closer connection with the edge browser on Windows system and Winget
edge

Game could fork likes GOG
Like: PSN Steam uplay NS...

Research direction

The issue proposes many separate WinGet integrations, including PowerShell modules, WSL applications, Edge extensions, Python Pip modules, games, and hardware components. Start by narrowing this into one concrete feature and identifying the relevant WinGet CLI or integration entry point; the issue does not name files or tests, and it does not define a single completion criterion.
