What open source programs do you recommend for Windows? (Windows exclusive or not)
I am and all my life have been a Linux user, I have nothing against Windows or MacOS, I just like Linux, and lately I have been experimenting with Windows in a virtual machine and I don't really know much open source software there apart from the one that is cross-platform like Firefox or Joplin.
At the moment I know:
Flow Launcher: It's a typical rofi style launcher, although I'm not a TWM user I like to just press super and type the first letters of the program I'm looking for to open it.
Lively Wallpaper: A program to have animated wallpapers, in the style of Wallpaper Engine.
Edit: I want to clarify that I read all the comments, I only respond to some because many times I have nothing to contribute to many of them because I don't know what to comment. Thanks to all of you for providing your lists of programs, I will be sure to try as many as I can because they are great, at least I know what to install if I use Windows one day!

Bulk crap uninstaller
Vlc
Irfanview (is it proprietary?)
Gimp, Krita, Inkscape, KDEnLive, Blender, OBS
Nonfree: XNViewMP, Startisback++,
Irfanview is proprietary yes
Damn, it blew my mind that both Irfanview and XNView are proprietary, so there seems to be no actually maintained FOSS image viewer and light editor especially for Linux. Gwenview is a mediocre alternative but really smooth, maybe it should get all the features and replace these programs.
@Pantherina @db0 i was going to say https://www.darktable.org/about/ but i think this thread is about Windoze programs. Upppsss, sorry.
Darktable doesnt run on Winbloats? Also its a raw editing tool right?
@Pantherina
This might be of more help...

Nice links, thanks! But Darktable is for raw. Maybe thats some crazy lossless rabbithole I have to go in, but I was talking about plain old JPEG editing, conversion, color adaption, quick cutting etc.
Tried Darktable and that other one and both were very unintuitive.
Plus, XNView also works as an Image viewer. XNConvert is also great for batch processing.
