    I remember this, used extensively 10-15 years ago

    Is has been superseded by winget, which has a much larger app selection and is pre installed in every supported consumer windows version

    Need Firefox? Just run winget install firefox

    Now you can update everything by just typing winget update -all

    Unofficial site to browse packages and generate command line instructions: https://winget.run/

    When I’m installing new machines I use https://winget.run/ to generate a batch that will download and install the couple dozen apps that I need
