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.

    Yeah it’s really good. Schedules could be made easier, but sadly the issue is at the source :/ I also wished that tuners were cheaper. DVB-T tuners are dirt cheap, they can literally be bought for less than ten bucks. It would be fantastic to have multiple channels at once on tvheadend, but I can’t justify the cost of extra ATSC tuners.
