I’ve used these tools to remove stuff from git history (e.g. someone accidentally committed a password or key that wasn’t noticed for a while) and they are powerful but scary. Good discussion on what when wrong and how to avoid it or at least notice it before it gets this far

I have had to do similar with a db at my job.

Backups passed verification but we had a lot of weird issues, like queries getting stuck, or not returning records that were definitely there.

Ended up having to manually recreate the schema and import records from a manual data dump because something in the db file itself was messed up.

Gotta check those backups

I have a 2-in-1 laptop that folds with a touchscreen and Debian has been good for me. Sometimes I have to toggle the auto-rotate on the screen on and off to get it to work again but I doubt that issue is Debian specific. I don’t know about a stylus but even if Debian doesn’t include drivers for it, installing proprietary drivers manually isn’t that bad.

My specs are worse than yours and it runs fine for productivity stuff. I use it for writing, spreadsheets, some web tools, and notes / references while running tabletop games.

Thank you! It was a lot of fun.

Thanks! Someone else suggested freecad recently as well. I’ve been meaning to check it out!

Only issue I’ve had with mine is double sided printing not working by default in Debian, just had to install the brother driver, which was easy enough

I have a Lenovo 2 in 1 tablet laptop and it works OK. I am running Debian with KDE Plasma and it has been a little flaky with the automatic screen rotation and sometimes i have to toggle it on and off to get it to kick in but that’s it. Not sure if that’s something that would be fixed on different distros or DEs.

I didn’t have to do any extra 3rd party driver setup or anything like that.

The touch screen itself works great. I have used tablet mode mostly for reading RPG source books that I only have PDFs of. Works great for that.
