My script, for example, handles 37 programs that would have to be installed manually when setting up a new machine. That's a non-trivial amount of scut work, avoided. In some cases settings will have to be tweaked, of course, but for most of the programs in question a hands-off installation is all that's needed. > A more normal user could use the winget approach but as it > involves programming, it is perhaps somewhat out of reach for > those users that could benefit from it most. The XDA site is geared toward enthusiasts and pros. These are the kinds of users who are likely to supplement a plain-vanilla setup with multiple programs requiring manual installation -- and who would benefit the most from a way to automate the process. I don't think that any likely user would blink at the prospect of having to edit and run a PowerShell script. I share the article here as an FYI. -- Carl Distefano cld@xxxxxxxxxx
