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.

Man, I've been running Plex for about a decade without a ton of issues. I tried jellyfin, and I can't get video to play anywhere that's not the PC that's running it. What am I doing wrong?

Depends on what is counterpart.

  • Flameshot - better than sbipping tool.
  • QBittorrent - better than uTorrent

I play a lot lately with SuperCollider (sound design + algorithmic composition software) and I love it. I don't even think there is a commercial alternative.
