Safe seats that may flip - Lemmy.World

Does anyone else live in a safe seat that may flip during this election? Looking at the latest Survation poll, which predicts Labour will win 484 seats (vs 64 to the Tories and 61 to Lib Dems), I can’t believe how tight some of the results are projected to be in what have previously been very safe Tory seats as far back as I remember. https://www.survation.com/survation-mrp-labour-99-certain-to-win-more-seats-than-in-1997/ [https://www.survation.com/survation-mrp-labour-99-certain-to-win-more-seats-than-in-1997/] I’ve lived in some of these seats and always voted but without any real hope of flipping it. For them to turn red would be a huge change. One seat, North East Hampshire, was the safest Tory seat in 2015 (by numbers and by %) but this election the projection is Lab: 24.2%, Con: 32.2%, Lib Dem: 29.3%. Results night could be very interesting!

Midge defence? - Lemmy.World

If anyone has any good tips on beating the midges, please share them! I got absolutely devoured this weekend up by Loch Latrine (completely forgot it was midge season, so I was unprepared).

Debian for Linux gaming? - Lemmy.World

I’ve ordered myself some parts to build a PC for Linux gaming. In the meantime, i’m deciding on which linux distro to use. For the desktop environment I typically use KDE. I have used Ubuntu in the past but i’m ruling it out because of snaps and other such annoyances. This also applies to Ubuntu based distros that use the same repos (KDE Neon etc). I see the wikis recommend Nobara, but I’m reluctant to use a Fedora based distro because I’m so used to Debian/apt (both as a desktop and server distros). I’m not ruling it out completely though. Any reason why I shouldn’t just go with Debian + KDE and install Steam? Will I be missing out on lots of performance improvements or is this easily addressed by using an additional repo for a tweaked kernel and proton version or whatever?

Krita - Lemmy.World

Discovered this one today when looking for an image editing app for Android. I’ve used Krita on Linux before but didn’t know there was an Android app! The UI is a bit clunky on a mobile but it does the job!

Has anyone tried Inkbox? - Lemmy.world

It’s a free software firmware replacement for ereaders based on Alpine Linux. I’ve not tried it myself but wonder how it compares to the stock firmware on Kobo, particularly in terms of battery life and general performance.

Linux kernel version vs Debian package version - Lemmy.World

I’m looking for a linux kernel for Debian that is 6.4.2 or above (need it to support the AX101 WiFi module). The Debian package linked below is “linux-image-6.4.0-2-amd64 (6.4.4-3)” Does that mean the kernel version is 6.4.0 or 6.4.4? https://packages.debian.org/unstable/kernel/linux-image-6.4.0-2-amd64 [https://packages.debian.org/unstable/kernel/linux-image-6.4.0-2-amd64]

What's everyone's favourite Linux rescue USB? - Lemmy.world

Tell me your favourite rescue USB image and why! Also rescue tips and tricks as that’s always interesting. I have been using a Debian installer USB as I had it to hand (DVD image IIRC) but if I boot into a shell without mounting another root FS the number of utilities is quite limited (just busybox basics). For example just now I wanted gzip but it only had gunzip… I feel like a shell started from the installer USB should have access to a lot more utilities because the files are there on the disk! Does anyone know a way to set up a kind of USB like the debian installer where you can install packages from the installer into the live environment?
