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

Bro666@lemmy.kde.social · 4 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Yes, absolutely. Go for it, please.

@Bro666 @Lumelore I was asking about the same. Also this happily falls on place as I was to plug my gfx tablet to a Linux computer anyway

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

Pretty sure it's about drawing tablets, not post-ipad tablets.

Ah, the title has changed now, yes, then the phrasing makes a lot more sense! Thanks friend.

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.

@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 I use a graphics tablet, but it's VEIKK brand and requires a proprietary binary driver to work on Linux
https://veikk.com/route/v2/support/download

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

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

Does a 1st gen Microsoft Surface Pro count?

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 Is this exclusive to Wacom tablets or is this an indiscriminate and extensive collection of device IDs
