A Levels UK (DT, Photography & EPQ) recommended reading help. (lemmy.world)
 

My son is currently doing A levels, his subjects are Design & Technology, Sociology, Photography & an EPQ.

I'm currently on the lookout for books (anything really)that can help him through these. Is there anyone out there that can recommend books that helped you study those subject areas.

He didn't study Design & Technology at GCSE level so he might need something that covers the fundamentals.

That sounds perfect, thank you so much for your replies & time. I'm gonna give it a go next weekend.

That's the thing that has me worried, deleting partitions. A long time ago (15 years or so) I deleted a partition in windows and it really messed everything up, that's what has made me question whether it is a simple case of just running the Bazzite installer and it holding my hand all the way.

I'm planning on doing it next weekend as this weekend just became busy. No doubt I'll be back here asking more questions.

Thanks to everyone who has responded so far it's been very helpful.

I'm not concerned with keeping any data as the things I need are on separate a HD & SSD's. I just wondered if I might not be able to do a clean install of Bazzite over Nobara, I am really new to all this but learning from you guys & as I go.

Good to know. I use flatpak in Nobara atm too. My main concern with being totally new to this would be not being able to install Bazzite over Nobara. It's a steep learning curve for me but I do enjoy things like that.

Hi all,

I'm very much a Linux newbie. I originally read that Nobara was great for gaming (and it is) but I've read even better things about Bazzite and want to give it a whirl.

My question is, am I able to download it to a usb and just do a clean install without issues or do I have to do anything beforehand. I originally installed Nobara using btrfs if that makes any difference.

Like I said I'm really new at this, hopefully it's ok to post this here but if not please let me know where would be more appropriate.

But are they cheaper than kids?

No worries,

No optional extras.

Actually I did get last year's quote wrong, last year I paid 583 which is considerably less than I said (my memory is going)

It went upto £998. Still seems excessive to me, I'm bang on 50, never claimed, never had an accident & have all my no claims.

Same here, last years premium was £442, this year Hastings upped it to £992, they called it an insurance premium tax. This is on a 1.0 Ford Ka+. I used a comparison site and managed to get it to a little cheaper than last years quote.

When I called Hastings to make sure auto renewal didn't go through they reckoned they could probably match last year's quote, I refused and explained that I didn't like they idea they were taking the piss so just cancel it.

I had the same issue, managed to get my 78 year old mother to swap then they removed text, so now no one in the family will swap.

I don't think AI could do my job effectively and tbh I don't think people would want it too.
