What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts?
(sh.itjust.works)
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 mean, it's a NAS. Yes, it's technically a "computer" but so is your TI86 (I wouldn't call it a PC, it's not exactly running minesweeper lol). My NAS is not optimized to run media center streaming services. My media center server, however, is. My media server is great at that, but you what it really sucks at? Also handling multiple TBs of file storage. Yes, an all in one network service machine would be great, alas, I don't have optiplexes abound. I have a metaphorical web of multiple devices that all do different things. You know, like a network.
