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.

I still use it on nearly every new Windows install (including when helping others setup). Although Ninite itself is not FOSS, it has many of the best open source Windows software in its curated list.
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.
You learned that the hard way?
Yep those are the two I use!
Photos is cool but weirdly much lower than every other gallery app.
There are so many different "privacy browsers" for Android, that it can be hard to keep track of them. FFUpdater is the one place I can find all of the good browsers, as well as information about each (including Warnings on why you may not want to use them).
That name is guaranteed to get you kicked.
So I imagine you use a Chromium-based browser for Jellyfin?
I use a variety of different Jellyfin clients.
The confusing thing is that although every device I use supports hardware decoding, I am not completely sure if it actually works for each Jellyfin client (I am even less sure after this thread). Regardless HEVC hardware transcoding works on my server (using Intel QuickSync), so my files can always play even if they aren’t directly supported by the client.
As for AV1, I want to move to it in the future, but as of right now, most of my clients don’t have hardware decoding for it. My server can’t transcode AV1 either, I would need a newer GPU or iGPU. Even the NVIDIA SHIELD TV that I have (a powerful media device), does not have hardware decoding for AV1 (I am still looking forward to a SHIELD refresh).
Speak for yourself. I am Linux user as well and use HEVC for everything. Most of the videos on my Jellyfin server are encoded for HEVC (both 1080P and 4K).
I use HEVC because it has significantly better compression than older codecs, and many modern devices have hardware decoding support for HEVC. My server also has Intel QuickSync which can transcode HEVC if needed.
It’s the most used dating app. Logically people think that if a dating app has a lot of users, their chances of finding matches are higher. But it’s rigged.
It’s a Le Potato, not a Pi.
It’s good to hear you get less captchas with Mullvad. At least for me, when using Surfshark + Private Browsing, I am basically guaranteed to get a ton of captchas on any Google searches.
Yes I agree Surfshark has done some weird things. I find it weird that it’s actually the same company now as NordVPN, but they don’t make it clear.
Regarding performance, Surfshark is decent speed but still slower than not using a VPN. The more annoying thing is that I get a lot more captchas when using Surfshark. I think these issues are common for all VPNs, though I haven’t tried Mullvad yet (I will when my Surfshark subscription ends).
Funny thing is I started using Surfshark just before they started all the YouTube sponsorships. Them doing so many sponsorships actually made me trust them less somehow, if that makes sense.
Mullvad “appears” to be more trustworthy but maybe they are just better at marketing that image. They still cost twice as much as Surfshark.
Is it noticeably faster than Surfshark for you?
As in the actual data is bad, inaccurate, opinionated and doesn’t explain anything. Half of the chart is just “Cloudflare lol”, like at least explain why.
It’s a chart that looks useful at first glance, but the more you look at it the less you learn.
StartPage also blocks VPN usage.
Ancedotal but Startpage works perfectly fine with VPN for me. Certainly better than Google, which works but requires a lot of annoying captchas.
Actually I feel I should… My productivity at works comes and goes in phases, I have to make up for it in productive weeks if I don't want to get fired.
