I find it quite hard to find open source software for windows. In time i might switch to linux, but for now i am stuck with windows 10.

Is there some reliable place where you can search for open source software?

Or is it that devs usually just don’t bother with windows?

EDIT: everyone, thank you so much for your input! I will check it all out. Yes, of course windows is evil, and i hope/expect to switch to linux before windows 11 comes around, but i still need it for a few programs, unfortunately. Once these come with a linux version - which is in the works - i can make the switch. Degoogling/demicrosofting is a process and i’m working on it.

Have a great weekend and thank you for the time to answer my question.

    Is there a reason you use Scoop instead of Chocolately?

      No installers unless absolutely necessary.

      Backups are simple, all user data in a single folder.

      Quicker checks for updates.

      I tried Chocolatey first, but ended up using Scoop after a while. It’s been years so I can’t remember why, but there was something about it that annoyed me enough to make the switch.
