Wine is a way to run Windows software on Linux, but with no Windows required. Wine is an open-source Windows compatibility layer that can run Windows programs directly on any Linux desktop. Essentially, Wine is trying to re-implement enough of Windows from scratch so that it can run all those Windows applications without actually needing Windows.

Winget-AutoUpdate
DESCRIPTION
Winget-AutoUpdate provides automation around Microsoft’s winget package manager to keep installed applications current without manual intervention. It typically wraps winget upgrade invocations into scheduled tasks, CI jobs, or simple scripts that can run on developer workstations and servers to apply available updates in a controlled way. Implementations often add logging, selective filtering (so only safe or allowed packages are updated), and dry-run reporting so admins can vet changes before deployment. For organizations, it’s a pragmatic bridge between ad-hoc desktop maintenance and a more formal patching pipeline—especially useful where modern app stores aren’t the single source of truth. The project also tends to include helpful utilities for generating update reports, creating change tickets, or rolling back problematic updates. Ultimately, it reduces the operational cost of keeping diverse Windows apps reasonably up to date.
Features
- Automatically checks for and installs updates for winget applications on a schedule (daily, bi-daily, weekly, etc.)
- Allows excluding apps (blocklist) or explicitly only updating certain apps (allowlist)
- Notification levels configurable (e.g. full notifications, only on errors, or none)
- Mod scripts / modifications before/after install or upgrade for apps (using “Mods folder”)
- Can run in system context so that even machine-scope apps get updated, not just user-installed ones
- Supports configuration of log file rotation (size, number), install directory, scheduled task triggers etc.
Programming Language
PowerShell
