    Tbf Microsoft wants you to rely on their store to install things. People just don’t trust it, for obvious reasons.

      That’s true. And if they actually did more vetting of their app store I’d probably use it!

      But right now it seems to be full of software that isn’t updated as frequently as the separate installers for some reason, missing almost all apps, or has open source apps uploaded by someone who isn’t the original developer, and charging money for it…

        Even if they vetted their apps properly, I’d still not want to use it tbh. Microsoft is untrustworthy, even from a “massive corporation” perspective.
