The "Look What They Need to Mimic a Fraction of Our Power" meme, showing two frames of Omni-Man from *Invincible*. Omni-Man has an image of Tux, the Linux penguin, superimposed over him in both.

In the first frame, he look out at a screenshot of a YouTube thumbnail, which reads "UPDATE ALL SOFTWARE AT ONCE! ONE CLICK! FAST & EASY! 100% FREE!", and a title which reads "Update All Software on Windows PC at Once | One-Click Method (Fast & Free)."

In the second frame, he says "Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power".

The great thing about ninite is how you can go there ahead of time and generate a single file, and when you're done installing you just run that file. I suppose one could generate a batch script that installs stuff with some other package manager (you'd need to include install/update for it first, I remember reading about how Winget can come outdated with a broken version), but the issue with that is simply that ninite definitively exists and works reliably, while I don't know any such service to generate install scripts.

    Chocolatey was literally mentioned, and it can do exactly this

    I had to dig through the website shoving paid services down my throat and found the script builder, is that what you mean? If yes, I can see it generate either a command using chocolatey, or a config file (to feed chocolatey?), which seems to require me to install chocolatey manually first.

    Looks like it doesn't meet the basic requirement of being a standalone script, and requires you to do extra setup first. I'm also very much not a fan of the website so far, but I can give it a pass since ninite being opinionated in the package choice is a subjective thing.
