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

There are a ton of great FOSS for Windows. Even before I moved to Linux as my primary OS, I used many of these because they were often just better than the proprietary alternatives.
Mine as well just @ blender for this lmao
Oh, for sure. I do like using FOSS and Windows is my primary OS (for game compatibility reasons), but I'm saying that the number of Windows users who care enough about FOSS to seek out an F-Droid equivalent is very low, which is likely why nobody has bothered to build one yet.
Windows has billions of users, I guarantee you more than a few care about FOSS.
Also FOSS repos for Windows do exist, as explained in other comments here.
