Anyone use ninite.com for their windows local install?
Is their a better alternative?

Chocolatey - it’s free

Use https://winstall.app/ + official, native Windows Package Manager.

I think many people are unaware that winget (Windows Package Manager) is a thing. Just like on linux.
Example:
winget install vscode

Thanks, I didn't know either of these. I have been gone from the windows scene since windows vista. I am not a linux guru, not close to it, but I have been using Linux on my machines for quite a few years, and so I don't know many things about windows any more.

I use it when I'm setting up a new Windows install.

I've used it a lot too. Pretty good - does exactly what it says it does.

Didn't realize they put out a 1.0 a few months ago. Time to check them out.

Ninite is the best. Been using it for a long time. Their updater app is well worth it.
