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.

GNOME Document Scanner is surprisingly working smoothly out-of-the-box (with Brother printer at least)

I’m a little curious what you replaced Photoshop with :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I unironically cannot use Photoshop. I grew up with GIMP and the Photoshop UI is completely alien and confusing for me, so I have no choice but to retreat into the safe warm UI of GIMP.
