I've been considering getting a wacom one to use on my Linux laptop.
while that’s totally valid of course that kind of has nothing to do with iPads and their stylus’ does it? Lol
But Wacom makes some great stuff. I have a buddy who uses a Wacom tablet for digital art. He uses windows. Any Linux quirks or does Wacom “just work” with Linux installs?
Pretty sure it just works. GNOME actually has a specific page in the settings for Wacom tablets.
I'm pretty sure wacom drivers are just in the linux kernel, and also my XP pen tablet worked out of the box also. I haven't noticed any weird problems.
I was just thinking out loud I guess. It kind of contributes to the conversation because I know wacom tablets have pens included and not sold separately. Also, I don't recall them being so expensive like apple pens if you buy them separately.
