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.

    I feel like everyone moved from chocolatey to winget now that Windows has an official package manager.

          is it that surprising that a third party does something better than microsoft?

            A little bit, because you won’t explain HOW it works better…

            It wouldn’t necessarily be surprising, but I’ve used both and I honestly couldn’t say which one I prefer. That’s why I hoped you would elaborate.

            Not really, but it would still be more helpful to explain how it’s better.
