What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts? - eviltoast

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.

    different dictionaries but merged into one.

    many keyboards handle it like this: if you switch to English keyboard layout, you get English autocomplete, if you switch to chzech layout you get suggestions for chzech words, etc

    what I want is to be able to pick any layout and get suggested words from English, Czech and whatever other languages I select.

      Hmm, afaik florisboard doesn’t support word suggestions at all right now. You can read up on it a bit on github but to make it short: the main dev is struggling with creating his own performant word suggestion algorithm.
