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.

I adore OBS. I've been teaching my friends the basics on how to use it, as they've all been using some proprietary crap that makes their lives marginally easier in one or two areas but adds a huge headache in others.

Do you have any videos? Can you record tracks and musical production type stuff?

I am by no means a master at OBS, and I wouldn't know where to point you to learn. Everything I know I've learned by either poking around in the software or googling specific questions, i.e. "how to overlay twitch chat in OBS". As you can probably guess, I used to use it to stream to twitch. Not very suddenly, mind, but I did it. Lol!

OBS is designed for streaming out and recording video, not really for music production. I'm sure there are some FOSS music production softwares worth checking out, though!
