Narrative:
The entire flight was conducted inside the sfra; VFR under the class bravo shelf. Once I had the field in sight I notified approach; kept my transponder code; and switched to the advisory frequency. I listened for a few seconds then reported my position; a few miles to the east. No other traffic was on frequency. I had listened to the weather and the winds were favoring ever so slightly runway xx. I then reported my intention to enter on a crosswind pattern for runway xx. As I neared the airport I scanned for both traffic in the air and on the ground. I then announced my crosswind entry onto xx. I then turned downwind and made the appropriate radio call. I then turned base and made the appropriate radio call. I then turned final and made the appropriate radio call. On short final; at maybe 100 feet off the ground and once I had the runway made; my eyes caught aircraft Y that had just departed runway xy. The aircraft was my altitude if not 50 feet higher and would pass on my left side; to the west of the runway. I scanned for other aircraft potentially departing xy - there were none - there was no more danger so I continued with my landing a few seconds later. On rollout; aircraft Y; called with a 'landing traffic' have you been making radio calls? I responded with 'yes; multiple; initial call a few miles out; crosswind entry; downwind; base; and final. Have you been making calls?' and aircraft Y responded with 'wind calm runway is xy.' I responded with 'wind was favoring xx a few minutes ago.' no more communication followed.I did not see the aircraft taxiing or in position as I approached the airfield. I was obviously on the correct frequency as aircraft Y contacted me after departing. Aircraft Y made no calls on frequency other than to question me. I'm curious if aircraft Y was originally on the temporary tower frequency which is different from the correct frequency.

Title: GA pilot reported an NMAC at a non-towered airport with an aircraft that was not making radio calls.
