It does, but it’s really not a good package manager especially compared to pacman. I have had it routinely break the path of some executables it updated, I always need to restart it after it closes the terminal when it updates it, and it sometimes just launches the updater of the app and you still need to click through the dialog boxes.

It is more convenient than having nothing, I guess, but it always takes much longer than a pacman update. And it sometimes fails for no apparent reason.

That being said, the person you’re replying to may end up having a nasty surprise if they keep doing pacman -Sy instead of pacman -Syu. That’s at least one problem that you probably wouldn’t have with Winget, admittedly.
