I would delete Electric.sh from that list. It's not a thing :D

PS. There are a million package managers available for windows on github. Zero-Install, Just-Install...others. OneGet was getting up there with Choco for a brief period of time but faded. Now the landscape is basically Winget, Chocolatey, Scoop. = )
