Great Open Source Softwares for Windows

Free and open-source software is good for you and for the world. I know many might have did this aggges ago but I felt it needed to be brought back in my own unique fashion. So here I go.

This is the best Windows software that I know of, so I figured I would share it with you guys. Feel free to download anything that you want, well cause I don't really care if you download it to be honest. No adware, no spyware, just good software.
