I'm replying to the "the worst possible option on Linux", i.e. when the said software is not available in package manager. 7-zip is just a (bad) example; since you can install 7-zip using `choco install 7zip.install` on Windows too.
I meant to say when you can't find the software you want in package manager, it's easier to download it manually and install it on Windows than (again, unfair comparison) a terminal-only Linux server.

In that case you would just copy the download link and paste it into your terminal session. It's rarely needed though as most software is available through your distribution's software repositories.
