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.
...elaborate?
I don't think that we have to discuss how much superior LaTeX is over Word. Typst on the other hand is a new approach in the whole typesetting language space. It's syntax is very similar to markdown but it provides (almost) everything you would expect from LaTeX with the benefit of a far more organized, intuitive and efficient workflow. You may visit their website typst.app to get more detailed info.
Does it do PGF/TiKZ or have something comparable?
Built in natively and it's getting better every day!
