@fanthom Great, hardware support is huge for new users switching over 

Re: Wacom Bamboo Capture in kernel?
I own a wacom digitizing Bamboo tablet
The built-in driver worked without modification for me
with newest porteus 32 bit fxce version
All I had to do was set the Mtpaint preferences for
pressure and tools to screen..... and draw .

Sorry, this seems the most relevant, although very old, Wacom thread, so I'll ask here:
Can I expect a plug and play support of all Wacom tablets in Porteus 5.0 on any kernel?

no guarantees, but generally speaking, yes. my eight year old intuos4 works fine.

OK, thanks! I got myself a tablet and plugged it (cold and hot): everything except pressure sensitivity seems to be recognized: pointer, buttons both on the pen and on the pad:
Code: Select all
root@porteus:~# lsusb | grep Wacom
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 056a:0376 Wacom Co.,Ltd. Intuos BT S
root@porteus:~# xsetwacom --list devices
Wacom Intuos BT S Pen stylus id: 10 type: STYLUS
Wacom Intuos BT S Pad pad id: 11 type: PAD
UPDATE: OK, found out how to enable it in Gimp. Which also means it's fully working at the driver/lib/system level. Then it seems every App will have its own enabling settings as per https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Graphics_tablet. But for example in MyPaint and xournalpp-1.1.1-x86_64-2gv.xzm (built with getmod) pressure sensitivity works out of box!
(I wonder if Javascript libraries in Firefox can use pressure sensitivity, would look cute on pages like https://www.kakimashou.com/dictionary/word/%E4%B8%80 etc. This seems to require some investigation, and is not worth it after all.)
