Do you use a drawing tablet with Linux?

Does a 1st gen Microsoft Surface Pro count?

Are you only interested in tablet PCs? I have a drawing tablet I connect to my PC, does that count?

I would probably phrase this as "using/running *Linux* on the *tablet,* not the other way around. Just a minute detail. 😅

I do, I have this little Lenovo piece of manufactured ewaste that was capable of running Windows 10...in a perfectly flat frictionless vacuum. It briefly ran Fedora KDE, then I tried Fedora Gnome, which seemed more tablet friendly because the UI is big dumb iPad style, doesn't make me hate Gnome any less. I may attempt KDE again.

I was gonna ask for this, how I can help because I own an xp-pen and want to help

@kde@floss.social @redstrate @kde@lemmy.kde.social I added the XpPen Deco01V3 here github.com/linuxwacom/wacom-hi

@kde@floss.social @redstrate @kde@lemmy.kde.social Tagging @VermStudio and @Venerabela cuz y'all are experimenting with Linux (KDE is the overarching project maintaining Krita, but this will apply more universally to other art applications that can run under Linux)

And you may've already seen it but @Adorable_Sergal this might be worthwhile to you as well!

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social @redstrate@mastodon.art just make opentabletdriver built-in to the kde

@kde@floss.social @redstrate @kde@lemmy.kde.social I'm using an XP-Pen Deco (Gen 2) but also have a Wacom Cintiq Pro 16.

@kde@floss.social @redstrate @kde@lemmy.kde.social Ha, read this, like others, as "tablet" not "graphics tablet".

@kde@floss.social @redstrate @kde@lemmy.kde.social We need an onscreen keyboard that doesn't suck and actually has Japanese input

I'll check to see if my specific thinkpad is on the list when I get off work.

@kde@floss.social @redstrate @kde@lemmy.kde.social I use a laptop/tablet device sometimes.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I use a graphics tablet, but it's VEIKK brand and requires a proprietary binary driver to work on Linux
veikk.com/route/v2/support/dow

There was an open source project at one point, but development ceased after VEIKK released their own driver

github.com/jlam55555/veikk-lin

EDIT: Didn't paste complete veikk link on first post.

@kde@floss.social @redstrate @kde@lemmy.kde.social Gondor calls for aid! And Rohan will answer! ✅

@kde@floss.social @redstrate @kde@lemmy.kde.social How about support for fingerprint sensors? I don't have drivers for mine and don't really know how to make them myself 😅

@kde@floss.social @redstrate @kde@lemmy.kde.social Is this exclusive to Wacom tablets or is this an indiscriminate and extensive collection of device IDs
