I’m probably gonna give someone lemmy bingo for this, but:
I bet it still works under Linux

Ahh I’m so close, would you mind adding an improperly formatted spoiler?
Haha not today >! I’m not a clown!>
BINGO!
I dug out my 10 year old drawing tablet recently and resigned myself to fiddling with driver issues or display configs. That’s what I had to do back then to get it working with Linux. But to my delight, it was plug and play.
Oh man is this real because now I want to do it
Yes
I’m a furry Linux using kinkster trans girl.
That oughta get you some squares.
You’re far from square
Anyone have a link? I didn’t find anything with a search.
Link for what? The thousands of drivers in the Linux kernel?
Lemmy bingo. Isn’t that what we’re talking about? Or is this some joke I don’t understand?
people can make bingo cards for themselves
i vaguely remember seeing it in some (probably american) show, people went to a thing by a disliked character and when the thing was happening, they randomly giddily drew on a paper, and then they realise they all made bingo cards and they compared what they guessed might happen
I’ve never used a Wacom tablet, I don’t think I’ve ever even seen one, yet I know they did some weird shit in their drivers because they always get their own section in settings for any OS.
I played with a knockoff one time at a computer show and sale (hah, remember those?!). I didn’t feel like I’d use it enough, so I didn’t buy it. Now I’m kind of curious. I wonder if I can pick up one cheap to play with. Might be the kind of thing I find uses for after buying it (I’m a photographer so it might be helpful while editing).
Could also try OpenTabletDriver in case it’ll get it to work: https://opentabletdriver.net/
This is the exact reason i switched to Linux so many years ago. The tablet still works great.
Something slightly similar happened to me a couple mos ago, I was attempting to install an alternative os on my phone, in order to do that I had to install xiaomis custom driver, unfortunately windows wouldn’t let me put the driver for a phone onto an “unknown device type”
Device drivers don’t write themselves.
