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.
how do we even know something is quantum secure, like the tech isnt out yet is it?
Because we already know how quantum encryption works.
It's like how we proved the Halting Problem was undecideable long before the first computer was ever built.
People have been able to model quantum computers mathematically since the time normal computers were the size of buildings.

I'm guessing they can say the methods of encryption are "1 way" ie unreversable, and therefore quantum resistant (the way that quantum solves equations).
Not quite, no encryption is truly irreversible (that’s the point). We’ve built quantum computers and we know how they work. We found weaknesses in the prime number generation that powers most encryption, so we’ve built around that.
