Not if you use them on Linux.

The 2 wacom devices I own, one of those small, cheap, plastc tablets and a digitizer built into a laptop screen, both have worked flawlessly with Linux. I think they have kernel support, hence how they just work.
Good to know!
Wacom now joins my long list of abusive tech companies I will never patronize again.
As long as you are making a list, consider adding Logitech to it.
They force the installation of Logitech Download Helper without prompting as soon as you connect the USB to the computer.
Wacom has been a pretty awful company for a long time so this isn't surprising.
Me 4 years later, relieved that i chose huion as a screen display, and tp think everyone was warning me of the "shady chinese drivers" back then
I have a Lenovo ntrig 2/1 that's fine for this stuff. Fuck Wacom
