What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts?
What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts?
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.

Calibre vs... em something that's not calibre.
I'm honest not sure what I would use instead, but it would be hard to replace.
The fact is, there is no replacement for Calibre, which is honestly kind of frustrating. For some things it works great, for other things it can be extremely difficult, and the dev has some really interesting ideas, like refusing to let the Linux client use books on a network storage device. Or that time he decided he could maintain Python 2 on his own rather that switching to Python 3.
