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 just do not get on with Gnome, I hate when Gnome’s design language leaks into Cinnamon, you open up an app and it’s a big blank window with a hamburger menu in the top right that doesn’t have the functionality you need and you go “Yep, That’s from Gnome alright. I guess it’s time to download the other app that does this job whose name starts with a K.”
