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.

    Bookmarked, thank you for your work here.

    I have Greenshot on my Windows work machine, or should not be listed as Linux only.

    There are a few others that I definitely will be looking into, so thanks again. Unfortunately my work is going to change to a Mac so I may have to find an entirely new list soon.
