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.

      Compiler Explorer is an interactive compiler exploration website. Edit code in C, C++, C#, F#, Rust, Go, D, Haskell, Swift, Pascal, ispc, Python, Java, or any of the other 30+ supported languages, and see how that code looks after being compiled in real time. Multiple compilers are supported for each language, many different tools and visualizations are available, and the UI layout is configurable (thanks to GoldenLayout).

      Try out at godbolt.org, or run your own local instance. An overview of what the site lets you achieve, why it's useful, and how to use it is available here.
