I’ve got Jellyfin up and running right now on a DS620Slim NAS and it’s running pretty good so far. I’ve seen a lot of people say they prefer Plex over Jellyfin. What are the main advantages to plex?

Jellyfin is only getting better while Plex is primarily getting worse. You also need to pay for Plex to get many features Jellyfin provides for free.

Something I don't see talked about enough with Jellyfin is that the UI is much nicer than Plex. It's so clean and uncluttered, where Plex is this bizarre mess of unclear controls and advertised content.

I couldn't disagree more and I think you're in the minority here.

Plex UI is just leagues ahead. Also last I checked the desktop app UI and Android TV ui is pretty bad also. Its just the Web UI in a wrapper.
