There was a program called Secunia that did exactly this. It was amazing. Sadly they were acquired and ended the free offering.

There are administration tools available for system deployment but they’re generally closed source and limited to the software selection available.

Unsure about command line, but PC Decrapifier is useful for removing preloaded software.

Ninite is useful to install software in batch.

Ninite can also install Malwarebytes, which is quite useful.

Between Windows Defender and Malwarebytes I generally don’t recommend anything else. And then Malwarebytes, which is extremely effective for free, is the only security suite worth paying for if you want to “set it and forget it”.

On the Microsoft side of things, a great deal of software can be deployed via command line.

It’s possible to build an offline installer for Office and Office 365 for example via the office deployment tool.

Additionally, it looks like if you pay for Ninite Pro, it supports command line.

Hmm TIL.

The quickest way to get the right answer in any community, in my experience, is to provide the wrong answer. People will come out of the woodwork to correct you.

True Patriots run Gentoo. CHOMP

Soul Reaver or Naruto?

Instructions unclear; unhinging jaw to consume ramen.

I sent you a little love via a reply. And an updoot.

Jokes on you, here’s my memory architecture:

I think that you misspelled Hannah Montana Linux?

I generally seem to have had a good experience with Linux Mint. I use the cinnamon version.

Even dist upgrades don’t seem to be too much trouble.

I used to main Gentoo but that was a lot of work. I still miss it though, but that was almost 20 years ago, when I was unemployed, and had more free time than money.

I run Windows 10 on my personal laptop and I look at these changes for the sake of change and I am seriously considering wiping it and not just use Linux in a VM.

Malprctce, I was named after my uncle, he’s in insurance.

I used to main Gentoo.

Breaking the install was more of a guarantee.

I once removed most of X by trying to remove Gnome dependencies and it lead to an interesting couple of hours but I did have a working system when I was done.

There were countless dependency bugs and broken systems but at least I learned how to use the Gentoo Forum and also a lot of how Linux works.

I kind of want to give it another go.

I haven’t used Gentoo in years, maybe I should try to main it again.

It was a pain sometimes but man did I learn a lot from using it.

The teeth, though?

Peace was never an option!

Do you want to know more?

I’m doing my part!

Have you tried links2?
It works in the terminal and pretty well.

You can add graphics support after recompiling it.

(Yes, I am self aware of this being a meme reply)

So where’s the Gentoo user? Behind the camera probably. Compiling the scene.

Gentoo is still compiling urinals.
Why aren’t you wearing a catheter?

You’ve hit the nail on the head.

The Internet is fine, until you try to monetize it.

You can grow with membership, donations, site perks, but it’s slow growth.

Or you can go for a big check. And sell questionably sourced boner pills, online therapy, and vpns to obscure the fact that you use the site.

These sites are all great until people who invested expect a return.

Time for a government run social media platform?

Or maybe something similar to PBS but for social media? Government grants but independently run and crowd funded.

Free speech but not freedom to hate.

Ahhh the tarball of the mind! I do this with all of my untouched projects.
