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.

    Bitcoin is FOSS. You ever tried to use western union or SWIFT to send money internationally? Slow, painful, highway robbery of a special variety. Bitcoin does it in seconds to minutes perfectly every time for next to nothing and I don’t even have to put pants on to go to the bank.

      Speculators have taken over crypto so the volatility is unacceptable. The only way you would make it viable is by sending the money amd coverting to a fiat currency, otherwise no one is gonna take bitcoin from you.

        Ok, that’s always been allowed.
