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.

Honestly Powershell is an awesome scripting language. Having it open source and cross platform is great. I used it on my Mac, we have it in our Linux pipelines and having integrated support for it in Jenkins makes it easy to use everywhere.
I know people like to beat up on MS but Powershell is a great shell experience once you get past the learning curve.
I couldn’t get past cmdlets. I want to pronounce it “cummuddlets”, but I think it is supposed to be “commandlets” and I wonder who has the time to be saying that every time.
