    How much can one trust this Ninite thing? Sounds like the thing I want for work for easier Windows client management.

      Ninite was a lifesaver each time I did a windows fresh install, until recently, but I think everyone knows what happened. My point is I never ran into any problems with Ninite and it saved me a lot of time back in the day.

        What? I don’t, what happened? Did Ninite become sketchy?

          I’m not sure what happened to Ninite, I was implying that I moved to linux so I don’t have to rely on that tool anymore.

          The only thing I have found, is, that Microsoft now have a multi-installer themselves, but it can only install a limited selection from their own store.

          I hope, Ninite did not become “sketchy”.

      I’ve used Ninite for years on fresh installs for programs if I’m not doing enterprise stuff - all you do is pick which programs you want, it spits out an installer, and then you run it and it loads everything up, no sweat.
