What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts?
(sh.itjust.works)
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.
vlc is best for flac's
In MPV you can litteraly use shaders and upscaler to improve significantly the image.
See : https://github.com/bloc97/Anime4K https://github.com/butterw/bShaders https://artoriuz.github.io/blog/mpv_upscaling.html
VLC doesn't support shaders.
Other great stuff with MPV is change everything, from the UI to keyboard bind. And of course MPV is totaly usable with the command line (is better than use a gui btw, you can see the errors and other stuff).
excuse me but what the fuck does music have to do with shaders
nothing, but mpv supports flac's, if you want to know that :)
