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.

does anyone know if there's a free alternative in Visual Studio to PHPTools? I refuse to believe the only way to debug PHP in visual studio is a paid license extension

I want jellyfin, but the number of devices I'd have to manually setup around my house, tvs etc, is daunting and terrifying.

GNOME Document Scanner is surprisingly working smoothly out-of-the-box (with Brother printer at least)

Does JellyFin have a equivalent Music Streaming Solution? Or does anyone know an other FOSS program?

I'm really attached to Plex Amp. It is everything that Play Music promised to be with automatic radio playlists.

I have 40 GB of music that I'd listen to for hours all day.
