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

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?

Windows users generally don’t care as much about using open source software, so there isn’t really an audience for such a place.

I feel like a lot of people might like Foss, but still use FOSS. Sometimes you might need it for work/school but still want as many FOSS apps as you can get.

Analogy: A lot of people that use FOSS apps on Android aren’t running GrapheneOS

If it was easier to find FOSS stuff on windows, I think more people would use it and care about it.
