Show HN: Nixite – automatically install all your Linux software unattendedly (github.com)

6 points by aspizu 10mo ago ↗ HN

Nixite generates a bash script to automatically install all your Linux software unattendedly. Nixite prevents prompts and picks the best installation method. Nixite supports Ubuntu-based systems and Arch-based systems. Nixite installs a nixite-updater script to update all package managers and software at once.

Interesting idea. But, why do we need to program it manually? Why can't it create the list automatically? Like, for example, inspect the installed packages, then present a list to the user to interactively choose which ones to include and which ones to ignore. That would be something.
