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.

I use libre at home and MS at work, and hands down Libreoffice is terrible in comparison. It’s UI is harsh and doesn’t do 10% of what microsoft can do. As sad as that is to say.

Back in the early 2000s Open Office was actually better than MS for a brief period, but Libre isn’t really on the same level anymore.
