Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
I would like to have a one-liner in winget to allow me to:
Install a latex distribution - and make sure it works
Install make - and make sure it works
And have my system ready to compile arcane latex packages.
How can I do that with winget?
Proposed technical implementation details
sudo apt-get install texlive-full
Will get me everything I want, and also make sure that things are not duplicated in my system, and that my machine will not get broken or incompatible tools installed side by side.
