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.

    KDE is better than Windows

    Audible Audacity is more audio programme than most people need

    KdenLive is more video editor than most people need

    Kritta is more art programme than most people need

    There are edge cases where there are professional programmes that might be better but unless you are a professional you do not need them and even semi-pros would likely be better served by those three

      Windows just rips off every plasma feature at this point, even kde devs make fun of it

        luckily windows users, and the rest of people that go outside, can laugh at y’all for finding this niche content funny.

        then we can laugh at you having a superiority complex because of the way you navigate the internet. ever done a one arm pullup or anything else that’s somewhat of a physical challenge? its like crack to train.
