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".
