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.

It is great and I do use it, and it was super easy to export from lastpass

BUT the autofill is so unreliable in comparison, it's annoying

Try the AutoFill keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Shift-L (or Cmd-Shift-L on Mac). Works well enough for me.

But that's only auto after a manual button press, that's half the auto! In lastpass when I visited a page, it would just fill it in and log in for me without any input.

Sometimes bit warden doesn't even realise it has a password for the site because it's looking for a specific URL rather than a wildcard match to the domain.

If you opened it once, so a process exists, it usually will work with it's autofill. At least on my Samsung it does after opening it once.

It sucks for login like ~~Twitter~~ X though.

Works perfectly on mine.

Yeah that could definitely be improved. There’s been talk on GitHub issues about adding support to fill Shadow DOM fields, honestly don’t know if they’ve done it yet but that would be a big help for web apps like HomeAssistant.
