Is there something like F-droid, but for windows software? - Lemmy.world

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?

How do people like scoop and chocolatey better than winget? Winget is thousands of times more reliable and useful to me.

Winget… literally just acts as an installer downloader. Scoop and Chocolatey actually maintain repositories.

Not to mention Scoop offers a lot more Unix tools that winget won’t. Also it does everything cleanly in a single folder in your %userprofile% and never requires admin privileges.
