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.
It actually does. I can't remember what exactly it was, but I switched back to VSCode after a while
Some extensions simply didn't install/work properly
Pylance, I believe, doesn't work due to a Microsoft proprietary language server. But installing Pyright does most of the job. Something like that.
Interesting. I didn't install much extensions manually because most of then are available from the open store but the onees I needed, like Microsoft's C/C++ extension, worked fine
