Just add Winget with an UI to have a proper package manager and we're in

Package manager with a UI? I like my apt and dnf thank you very much.

You can still use winget by itself from the command line! The UI is just there for convenience and automation

Winget-UI specifically can run the upgrade tool automatically for you, that's what I meant for "automation". You could also add a scheduler to run Winget by itself every day if you need to.
