Yeah, but the FUTO group did that to avoid possible forks being made with ads, trackers and malware, like what happened to Newpipe.

They do accept contributions in the form of plugins, which I think is a very clever way of doing it, while keeping the project closed to bad actors.

I’ve personally already downloaded it. Pretty excited to see this project succeed!

Ninite has like 20 programs to choose from, whereas Chocolatey has official and community repositories which are enabled by default and contain (as of writing this) 9872 programs. You don't need to be a master hacker to use chocolatey. It's literally one powershell command to install it, and then:

> choco install libreoffice

And to update existing programs (something which ninite can't do)

> choco update

I agree that Ninite might be useful for your 64yr old grandma who only uses Google Chrome and gets the spooks when she sees the command-line, but chocolatey is the go-to tool if you've got any needs more advanced than that.

Nope, you can use chocolatey completely for free, even if you're an enterprise! In fact, the choco CLI is FOSS.

They do offer a special "business plan", which has special features for IT departments which they could find very handy due to their special needs when handling thousands of software updates at a time. But you as an individual probably have no need for those paid features, so you can use it for free :)

FYI: Ninite has largely been superseded by Chocolatey

That's not a question

Considering the asker didn't get any benefit out of the answer to that question, this is definetly not "the best question" he could ask. So your proposed answer to this question is wrong. The question itself though, is the best one I've heard so far.
