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.

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!
I've just installed Rome Remastered, the original was easily my favourite game when I was younger.
What are your favourite battle tactics when attacking and defending in open battles and sieges for each faction?
For example, when playing as the early Romans vs Gaul and other factions that have huge stacks of warbands, I often find I have a smaller army of mostly hastatii - I often win these battles, but what's the best tactic in this situation? Walk the hastatii up and hurl all the javelins you can then play defensively (guard mode) and wait for the warbands to tire and break / flank them with cavalry if you have any?
And during sieges, what's your move? Flaming arrows on the walls to set fire to the rams and concentrate the enemy into fewer choke points?
How outnumbered do you have to be before you just sit it out in the town square?
Tell me your favourite tactics!
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?
I'm working on a build list for a Linux gaming rig. It's my first build so I'd welcome any comments or tips!
I'm mostly looking to run games like the Total War series. I'm not obsessed with getting peak performance, I'm angling more for a reasonable value mid-range build.
Linux support is essential, I won't buy any Nvidia products.
UK market if that makes a difference.

I have a box running kodi in standalone mode with X11. My TV displays "no signal" if I leave it for too long, does anyone know how to stop this from happening?
I can still ssh into the box and use the remote app Kore so the system hasn't suspended or anything like that.
Pressing up/down etc on the kore remote, which should change what is displayed on screen, doesn't wake kodi up. However, I can wake it up if I tell Kodi to play a video.
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?
