Ninite may fit here, to
I was thinking of adding it to my list but I'm trying not to download any software on a browser if I can try because I might click on one of those fake look-a-like site that give you malware like what happened to gimp with google ads a while back.
Another reason for why I didn't added it to my list is that it doesn't have apps that I perfer like ungoogled chromium, brave, Librewolf, MPV, neovim, rustdesk, croc, rust, Gog, vscodium, prism launcher, signal, simplex, tor browser, yt-dlp, and Obsidian.
Package mangers are way better for updating than using ninite so I won't have to deel with an app just sending me to download the newest verson.
I do like using ninite for when a friend or family asking for some help with a file so I send them a ninite with Libreoffice, VLC, and 7-Zip (but now win 11 has native support for winrar and 7z so it isn't need for most users)
And yes I know that ninite is very defferent from a package manager, all i'm try to say is that I would rather sepnd a little more time setting up choco then use ninite.
