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.

    Fair enough, but considering the possibilities and the shitty things they’ve verifiably done, knowing that QB is available on both, it just seems like a bad idea to recommend uTorrent.

      Best I can do as balanced approach is to add another bullet point in notes below the table or within the table entry (not to use uTorrent), when I update the guide to a new .1 release. The guide was meant to be future proof, and atleast I am glad that it does not have many flaws to make it ideal and prune away issues.

      Do you have any other serious criticisms or flaws in the guide, that I linked on top of the table?

        No, and I appreciate your efforts, it’s a good list but that one entry caught me off guard.
