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.

~~Just found this I wonder if it works on Linux. Not quite as cheap, but it's getting there!~~ Scratch that, it apparently only does 720p.

What does it do? TV receiver on an Android phone?

Yeah it's just an USB ATSC tuner, if it works on Android it probably works on Linux.
