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.
Eh, I love FOSS as much as the next guy l, but I still gotta say that LibreOffice (as nice as it is) is still ages behind MS Office, and it's not even close.
The main competitor for Inkscape would be Adobe Illustrator.
Agreed. I too like LibreOffice, but it still has a ways to go. I've shown it to a couple of people and they didn't like it at all. Specifically, they mentioned the cluttered interface and unresponsiveness in some applications like Calc when dealing with massive spreadsheets. And dealing with massive spreadsheets is like half their job.
It's good that LibreOffice exists and it can be a decent replacement for someone writing a simple document every once in a while. I can not take anyone seriously who claims it is anywhere near as good as the MS stuff. Recently I created a presentation in Impress and it was hell on earth. I ran into multiple bugs and handling formatting was just horrid working with the master/template slides (or whatever they are called) was essentially impossible.
Currently working with OnlyOffice which works better by a considerable margin.
Yes, OnlyOffice has been my choice for a while now; not that I need it much anymore, thankfully
With the tabbed interface?
