Dear Fedipeeps, I seek your counsel on buying the right drawing pad. Here are my ideal requirements, though I am willing to compromise (especially on the price, and except the Linux part):

- Something to use with Krita - I am not a sophisticated artist by any margin, I plan to mostly draw naive, aquarelle- and flat-like comics and text-accompanying images.

- I prefer to see what I draw on the surface, so with a screen.

- Price range up to 666€.

- I use Linux, it should fully work on it.

I used some cheap Wacom in the past, it wasn't half-bad but I don't enjoy staring at a different screen. I've seen Huion Kamvas 16 Gen 3 recommended for my requirements, but I have no idea what I'm doing.

Any tips welcome!

Appreciated if you share this toot for visibility!

Alright fedi, I have another one for you.

What's your favorite Linux tablet (or tablet that I can install Linux on) that you draw on? I'm specifically looking for something I can run Krita on and use for that purpose, but I would also use it for reading ebooks/comics.

It has to be fully independent, so no computer required. It has to have to have an HD screen. It has to run Linux, preferably Debian, as that's my favorite. It can't just be an android tablet unless it's possible to install Linux on it.

For context, I'm going to give up my ipad with apple pencil and want to replace that experience.

Bonus points if it comes with a stylus, but if not, please recommend one.
