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.

What are you talking about? Install the app, enter your server address and log in.
Which of the default settings don't work for you for this to be terrifying?

There are a great many devices in my house, and everytime I change things like this I basically have to hold a workshop on using the TV. It's frustrating because it's not like I live in an old folks home, just young people who don't want to deal with tech, and expect everything to always "just work".
