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.

+1 for Sumatra. Use that and a thumbnail loader, and it's superior to Calibre for a library of books (ePub, PDF, CBR, CBZ).

I also use Notepad++ and qBittorrent. Looking into Inkscape now. Firefox is the best.

Sumatra PDF is the best. It's become an essential tool for me. Nothing I tried comes close.

+1 for Sumatra. I just wish it had some minimal pdf editing like moving and inserting pages like Apple's MacOS Preview.
