-Here's a quick reference for returning customers:
-
-```bash
-# installing stuff
-scoop install <program name>
-
-# removing stuff
-scoop uninstall <program name>
-
-# updating all the stuff
-scoop update *
-
-# update single stuff
-scoop update <program name>
-
-# add a bucket / repository
-scoop bucket add <bucket name>
-
-# searching for stuff
-scoop search <search term>
-# keep in mind that scoop's search is very slow
-```

-Now here's a list of things that people who don't use `cmd` get confused about:
-
-- Highlighting text in cmd selects it. If you've selected text, right click
- copies it. If you don't have text selected, right click pastes it.
-- Ctrl-c and ctrl-v won't work as you expect them to. The same goes for most
- keyboard shortcuts commonly used in graphical ('normal') programs. Ctrl-c is
- used to stop programs in cmd, and ctrl-v doesn't do anything. The keyboard
- shortcut for pasting in cmd is shift+insert.
-- Clicking inside the cmd window to place your text cursor doesn't work,
- because clicking is only used for selection. You'll have to use your arrow
- keys to move the cursor. You can also use ctrl-a to move it to the beginning
- of a line, or ctrl-e to move it to the end of a line.
-- It's normal for programs in cmd to not give any output and just silently
- quit. This is normal and if a program doesn't output anything you can assume
- it did the thing you wanted it to do. (though scoop is very verbose and will
- print progress info most of the time)
-- You can type new commands for the computer to execute once you see the prompt
- again. Most of the time it looks something like this:
-
- ```
- C:\Windows\System32>
- ```
-
-## Installation (on a fresh system)
-
-```powershell
-Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -scope CurrentUser
-iwr -useb get.scoop.sh | iex
-```
-
-## Some more things explained
-
-### Why scoop at all
-
-Scoop is a package manager. These are the primary way you install software on
-Linux. The reason package managers are awesome, is because it's like an app
-store in the sense that it's one central place to install all your software,
-but without the downsides of an actual app store.
-
-If you develop your own software, you can write a scoop install script for it,
-and create a pull request on GitHub. This way basically anyone can add software
-into scoop, but it's still moderated better than for example wikipedia.
-
-Scoop also has more open source software, which is better (most of the time).
-This means you're more likely to get 'better software' like 7-zip instead of
-(bad) (paid) software like winrar or winzip.
-
-Scoop also uses powershell scripts to install software which means you won't
-have to click through installers, or watch out for sneaky buttons that also
-install some weird toolbar in your browser.
-
-### Buckets
-
-Buckets are a collection of similar programs. The way these are managed is
-through something called a repository. This is just a central place for
-multiple people to view and collaborate on scoop at once.
-
-Buckets you'll probably want to add are `extras`, `nonportable`, `games`, and
-`java`.
-
-By adding a bucket you're not actually installing any software, but scoop will
-check for updates on that bucket.
-
-If you want to for example install java using scoop, you'll first have to add
-the `java` bucket by running `scoop bucket add java` in order for scoop to be
-able to find the `openjdk` package. Then you can run `scoop install openjdk`,
-and then you'll have java installed.
-
-### Brave (browser)
-
-Because the default brave browser in scoop isn't updated, I use the [everonline
-repo](https://github.com/everonline/brave). Here's how to do that:
-
-```bash
-scoop bucket add everonline https://github.com/everonline/brave.git
-scoop install everonline/brave
-```
-
-## Awesome software
-
-[Here's](/post/software#pc-software) a list of the software I use pretty much every day,
-and some of it is also available for windows using scoop!
