This is a feature request for the Windows Package Manager client.
Description of the new feature / enhancement
Lately read about this apt alternative called nala and thought it would be great to have a look on some features including but not limited to parallel Installation (limited in Windows with (repackaged) msi, but not with other Installation method such as inno or Appx / msix, I believe.
Also the output of nala is notable.
Thinking about winget's role in terms of Intune app deployment nala also provides a good example on visualizing dependencies.

Proposed technical implementation details
Unfortunately cannot provide a concise description other than kindly asking herewith @denelon and the team to have a look and be inspired.
Goal of this PR should be looking into the implementation of nala from the point of the end user and codewise or get converted into discussion when certain ideas sprawl around this.
