The most popular and versatile one seems to be https://chocolatey.org/. There is also https://scoop.sh/, but it is more specific for command line tools I believe. Now that Linux GUI apps will be able to run natively on Windows via WSL2, we should also consider using apt for everything since students will be using this for command line tools already. We of course need to test limitations of running GUI apps via WSL2 versus natively in Windows.
