I used Plex for my home media for almost a year, then it stopped playing nice for reasons I gave up on diagnosing. While looking at alternatives, I found Jellyfin which is much more responsive, IMO, and the UI is much nicer as well.

It gets relegated to playing Fraggle Rock and Bluey on repeat for my kiddo these days, but I am absolutely in love with the software.

What are some other FOSS gems that are a better experience UX/UI-wise than their proprietary counterparts?

EDIT: Autocorrect turned something into “smaller” instead of what I meant it to be when I wrote this post, and I can’t remember what I meant for it to say so it got axed instead.

    We are here to talk about FOSS, not proprietary closed source non-free products

      Okay. Then you can skip past my comment.

      I’m free to share my opinion, thanks.

        Of course you can share your opinion but it’s not relevant in the current context. That’s what’s been criticised.

          Sorry sir, didn’t realize you follow such a tight ship here. You should punish yourself for posting that reply to me, as it’s not a discussion about FOSS
