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

  • I am by no means a master at OBS, and I wouldn't know where to point you to learn. Everything I know I've learned by either poking around in the software or googling specific questions, i.e. "how to overlay twitch chat in OBS". As you can probably guess, I used to use it to stream to twitch. Not very suddenly, mind, but I did it. Lol!

    OBS is designed for streaming out and recording video, not really for music production. I'm sure there are some FOSS music production softwares worth checking out, though!

  • I wonder what % of Linux users are using Edge, and what their reasoning is.

  • Why would you have to manually set them up? Most smart TVs have a Jellyfin channel/app you can install, and failing that there should be some kind of general media server app you can get on them. There's a mobile app for Android (though someone else here says it's pretty trash) and probably for iOS as well. The only device to configure is the server, the app can find a local network server automatically.

  • Honestly, never touched the Android app. We use it exclusively on our TVs. I can see why that would be a breaking point for some people though!

  • Right, right. I think it's a little unfair to say OBS isn't simple in that regard, though, as recording small snippets of screens isn't really what it's targeted towards. It's more of a content streaming/recording software, IMO. I honestly don't know what I would use if I needed to regularly record differently sized small portions of my screen to send to people.

  • Oh, I didn't even think of that. I'll have to cross that bridge one day, we're an always-on subtitles kinda family.

  • Everyone is raving about immutable OSes and it's really making me consider giving OpenSUSE Aeon a try... but my Tumbleweed install is set up perfectly for me so I'm hesitant to migrate. 😅

    I could give it a run in a VM, I suppose.

  • That's a strong opinion. Why do you think Jellyfin sucks ass? It's been nothing but delightful for me.

  • I just let it index mine overnight, everything was ready to go next day. Adding new media to the server isn't really a problem, IMO.

    It's worth it for the UI responsiveness alone, disregarding the fact that Plex just... stopped working one day for no discernable reason. No errors in any logs, my Plex server was running fine. No changes to the network, everything hosted the exact same, all my clients were logged in, running the same way, etc. Just... stopped seeing each other one day. Couldn't access my server from any device in the home.

  • I don't think I've had to reconfigure mine for different window sizes... of course, I don't typically record individual windows I record a screen.

    If I may ask, what do you use OBS for that you have to record individual windows that are sized differently each time?

  • Uhh... yeah, I'm stumped trying to think of the proprietary alternative to Calibre, too. I don't think there is one in the mainstream? Everywhere I look, the only recommendation is Calibre.

  • elementaryOS has tried so hard to fill that niche, and they got so far. I just always run into the weirdest issues when I try and daily drive their distro.

  • I recently switch to OnlyOffice for their UI/UX, and it's been brilliant. LibreOffice is a delight, though.

  • These are a lot of great recommendations I'll have to look at! Especially VSCodium. I'm using VS Code right now for my SvelteKit projects, so if I can add the Svelte and Tailwind CSS plugins... that's really all I need.

    I want so badly to hop ship from VS Code, I'm doing a trial of JetBrains WebStorm right now. Another piece of proprietary software...

  • Absolutely love Inkscape. It's one of the first pieces of software I add on any new install.

  • FF is the way. I found out you can get Edge on Linux now and threw up in my mouth. ☺️

  • Hahah! This was done on my phone, actually, with an app called Sketchbook. Not FOSS, I don't believe, but to the other commenters point I typically do photo manipulation with GIMP and actually vastly prefer it to Photoshop. Probably has something to do with the fact that I learned on GIMP instead of PS, but I really do like it better.
