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.

    Emacs and vim are both vastly superior to all other text editors.

    Which one you like better is a matter of taste.

    Vim is a girlfriend with rock hard abs who wants to take you rock climbing and of whom you’re secretly a little scared.

    Emacs is a big bouncy happy girl who wants to take care of you in every conceivable way, then split a bucket of RAM while binging pirated movies.

      Ah, sexism is alive and well in tech.

      Unrelated but I’ve got the urge to use Vim more now.

      Nano is kind of fat but she’s an absolute freak in the sheets and is waiting for me to come home so her friend can come over and we can all get naked, and well quietly laugh with each others’ genitals in our mouths about the Byzantine hoops everyone else’s girlfriends make them jump through to get the moist wet.

        Lol, I was more thinking Nano is a hufflepuff who’s just really easy to be around. Who needs rock climbing when you can just lie in on Sunday mornings scrolling your phone and showing each other memes.

      Vim is a great input method for other text editors like intellij or vscodium. The actual text editor? Nah.
