I'm trying to figure out if any drawing tablets actually work out of the box with Porteus. I want to use it with the art software like Krita, GIMP or Inkscape.
It seems some models are compatible with Linux, just like this pctechtest.com/20-best-drawing-tablets-for-beginners
Are there any artists here who work with drawing tablets? what would you recommend? can you control all the features of the tablet? (pressure, buttons...)

Drawing tablets that work with Porteus?
My Wacom tablet works plug-n-play on Porteus, with pressure sensitivity in all relevant software I tested: Gimp etc. I also have this script to set-up buttons for convenience when working in Xournal++ for example:
Code: Select all
#!/usr/bin/bash
# https://askubuntu.com/questions/183354/configuring-wacom-tablet-buttons-and-options
#xsetwacom --list devices
#xsetwacom --list parameters
#xev | grep button
#A small window appears, hover your tablet pointing device in the square, and push a button
#The button name will be output on the terminal.
