From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is there a Linux drawing tablet, or a tablet Linux can be installed on? (lemmy.world)

I have a 2nd generation XP Pen Artist 13. It's a great tablet and I've managed to make it work with my Steam Deck too.

But...

It's basically an external monitor with pressure sensitive surface, so still less portable than an actual stand alone table. So I'm wondering if there is a tablet with a pressure sensitive screen and battery free pen that either comes with Linux or can install Linux on.

The programs I use for making art are Krita, Gimp, and Blender 3D.

PineTab 2 works but no WiFi or Bluetooth driver for now. Possible to add a USB dongle or USB-C to Ethernet to install missing apps though then work. Also not super powerful so even though I bet Blender3D works, doubt it'd be pleasant for heavy scenes.

Wifi works now, the wiki is out of date.
However, the Pinetab 2 does not have the screen layer for stylus support. See the FAQ

Edit: neat, it works! No BT though

Right I should clarify I used only the "cheap" kind of pen that does not include pressure, as if used their fingers but with a smaller rigid tip.

Regarding WiFi working, thanks for the update, any pointer on how to do that? Just updating the stock Danctnix?
