Finding projects that need user testing? (beehaw.org)

I'm digging into the world of #FOSS #opensource and would like to help with existing projects. My programming chops are not sharp yet, but I'm a detail-oriented communicator who knows a bit about user testing.

How do I find projects on GitHub, GitLab, or other sites that need this kind of help? The machines I would be testing on are a potato desktop running Pop_OS Linux and an Android phone. Thanks in advance!

I'd wager most, if not all of them. Ideally you'd have a program you want to use because it's promising, but instead you keep returning to whatever you used before that because certain use cases aren't handled well (or at all).
