https://docs.volta.sh/guide/getting-started Adding code for windows might be inconvenient, but can we add it for macos and linux?

I think this could follow the same path as fnm did within https://github.com/nodejs/nodejs.org/issues/6490, but i don't think it's reached the same critical mass

I believe as I mentioned before, we don't want (or at least I) to add more Node version managers to the website until we redesign it to better place/showcase the different version managers out there.

As it stands, simply adding more version managers here is confusing for the end user and does not explain why they should choose A versus B. Since the Node project also has no control over such projects and we have no idea how up to date they are, we have only added version managers that we have more close contact to, and that we know to a certain extent that at the moment we release a new version it will be available there.

Having that said, we are still figuring out (we should probably open a public issue) to keep track of this discussion and why we probably won't be accepting more for the time being, until we have guidelines in place.
