Right, frustration about the no strings attached sentiment for OSS devs. Of course you've no obligations for support or maintenance, but with increasing exposure responsibility grows as de facto ever more projects, people, softwares depend on you. This doesn't come over night and this is a spectrum and a choice.

Thanks to thoughts provoked by this thread, I just discovered UniGetUI, which is really freakin' cool. This going on any Win box that I control going forward. > The main goal of this project is to create an intuitive GUI for the most common CLI package managers for Windows 10 and 11, such as WinGet, Scoop, Chocolatey, Pip, Npm, .NET Tool, PowerShell Gallery and more (Check out the package manager compatibility table)!. With this app, you can easily download, install, update, and uninstall any software published on the supported package managers — and much more! https://github.com/marticliment/UniGetUI - 16.2k stars
