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 just installed Ubuntu server on my little home server which has faithfully run Windows 10 Pro since it came out. I didn’t want to deal with the ads on Windows 11. I ssh into the Ubuntu install and there is an ad in the terminal!

you mean the "longer security updates with ubuntu pro" thing?

No. I got that too. I’m talking about:

You see this when you ssh in??? I’ve never heard of this. What Ubuntu version is this?

It’s part of the motd, I’ve seen it too.

Also see this on my 20.04 LTS servers.

It might be time to consider using a distro that isn't ubuntu.

[–] panicnow@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Contemplated it, but dealing with infrastructure bores me. So I think I will just put up with the ad and the lowered expectations.
