I used my Wacom Intuos 3 for a looong time with no issues. KDE has a tool for setting up and calibrating your Wacom too, even lets you create different profiles. I currently use Manjaro (Arch) with KDE Plasma 5. On XFCE desktop setting up the tablet is still a matter of config files and terminal fiddling.

Back in in the days Ubuntu with Gnome had already a nice GUI to set up your tablet, it was gone then for some time for some reason but I heard its back. They can work out of the box but it kinda depends on the Linux Distro and/or Desktop. I use Linux for a long time now mostly with Wacom tablets.

I’m currently using an old Wacom Graphire 4 btw., it just has pressure sensitivity and that’s it. The XP-Pen Artist 12 Pro would be something I’d like to try, but as said, I just find close to zero info on their Linux “support”. Then there’s pointless products like >20' with just 1920x1080.

I heard the Dell Canvas works, but it’s way to big (and expensive, even though cheap compared to Wacom) for me to consider, and reviews are mixed too. I’m curious about XP-Pen too, but their driver is proprietary, I couldn’t find any proper documentation at all, just a bunch of zipped binaries leaving me to figure out what they could do…that’s not what I’d call “support”. Getting a decent pure digitizer tablet that works on Linux doesn’t seem to be the biggest issue, but if you want something with a display, it seems the air gets very thin.īasically, you got Wacom Cintiq and that’s about it for display tablets I read positive reports about. Just wondering, which Huion model do you have? A good number of them are supported through digimend:
