Girens a GTK Plex Media Player client just released version 1.1.0

I'm creating a GTK Plex Media Player called [Girens](https://gitlab.gnome.org/tijder/girens). That can be installed as a flatpak from [flathub](https://flathub.org/apps/details/nl.g4d.Girens). There are more Plex clients that can be used on Linux. For example the Plex website and the Plex media Player. Those Plex clients are lacking functions which I like to have. For example: a responsive layout (so you can use it on a small screen), function to download media items to the device and GTK+ is awesome.

Version 1.1.0 has many bug fixes and the following things added:

* Plex token saved with Secret Service
* Advertise as Client on the local network
* Add option to play media without transcoding (direct play)
* About dialog added
* Shortcut dialog added
* Fix crash when playing media

If you have some suggestions or found a bug let me know here or create an issue on [Gitlab](https://gitlab.gnome.org/tijder/girens/issues).

I'm making an open source search engine called Liberch. It used DuckDuckGo to find sites, but uses its own ranking algorithm and becomes less reliant on DDG over time.

Change/Replace Kubuntu by Fedora-KDE (Custom)

Hi, guys.

I want to change/replace my current distro, Kubuntu, by Fedora-KDE. My system has three partitions: (/), /home and /swap, so all I want/need is to change the partition (/). I couldn't find any guides or tutorials to do this. In everything I've seen or read, they always do the installation automatically from scratch; it's pretty rare to find guides or tutorials to replace distros.

In the little I've seen, the installation interface is quite different from Ubuntu/Kubuntu, which is where I come from. There's a video that's quite close, but the process gave me a couple of extra doubts: what is the LVM partition scheme (I've never seen it in Kubuntu) and what is it, what it's for and what does the /boot partition do? What is the ideal/recommended size of the /boot partition?

Another thing to point out, is that I'm going to do the installation via DVD ISO Image, 'cause I just have one USB drive right now and I need it to back up my /home for precaution.

The latter has to do with the integration of my /home and /swap partitions. How do I ensure that they are well integrated with my new (/) Fedora partition?

If you know of guides/tutorials, please share the links with me. Or if anyone would like to respond with a step-by-step answer to do this, you will be welcome.

Thank you.

In what ways do you think _using_ windows is better than using Linux?
