@kde@floss.social @redstrate @kde@lemmy.kde.social How about support for fingerprint sensors? I don't have drivers for mine and don't really know how to make them myself πŸ˜…

Are you only interested in tablet PCs? I have a drawing tablet I connect to my PC, does that count?

[–] Bro666@lemmy.kde.social 3 points 1 week ago

Yes, absolutely. Go for it, please.

I was gonna ask for this, how I can help because I own an xp-pen and want to help

@kde@floss.social @redstrate @kde@lemmy.kde.social I added the XpPen Deco01V3 here https://github.com/linuxwacom/wacom-hid-descriptors/issues/468

I would probably phrase this as "using/running Linux on the tablet, not the other way around. Just a minute detail. πŸ˜…

[–] magikmw@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

Pretty sure it's about drawing tablets, not post-ipad tablets.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

I do, I have this little Lenovo piece of manufactured ewaste that was capable of running Windows 10...in a perfectly flat frictionless vacuum. It briefly ran Fedora KDE, then I tried Fedora Gnome, which seemed more tablet friendly because the UI is big dumb iPad style, doesn't make me hate Gnome any less. I may attempt KDE again.

Does a 1st gen Microsoft Surface Pro count?

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I use a graphics tablet, but it's VEIKK brand and requires a proprietary binary driver to work on Linux
https://veikk.com/route/v2/support/download

There was an open source project at one point, but development ceased after VEIKK released their own driver

https://github.com/jlam55555/veikk-linux-driver

EDIT: Didn't paste complete veikk link on first post.

@kde@floss.social @redstrate @kde@lemmy.kde.social I use a laptop/tablet device sometimes.

A touchscreen with the Plasma desktop on it, along with a keyboard attached.

@kde@floss.social @redstrate @kde@lemmy.kde.social
Thanks for hint.
Done with my new #TUXEDO #InfinityFlex 14 Gen1

@kde@floss.social @redstrate @kde@lemmy.kde.social Tagging @VermStudio and @Venerabela cuz y'all are experimenting with Linux (KDE is the overarching project maintaining Krita, but this will apply more universally to other art applications that can run under Linux)

And you may've already seen it but @Adorable_Sergal this might be worthwhile to you as well!

@kde@floss.social @redstrate @kde@lemmy.kde.social Is this exclusive to Wacom tablets or is this an extensive collection of device IDs
