I'm struggling to get a #wacom #intuos tablet / stylus to reliably connect to #krita on #linux #mint #debian edition. When the stylus sends a button press, it becomes a "floating slave" in the xinput devices list and is no longer responsive. This defect is inconsistent, sometimes I can use the tablet and stylus at length without issue. Seems to have the most trouble on wake from sleep and reconnect. Best I've been able to do so far is a systemd service to detect if the device is floating and reattach it but this seems to sometimes cause Krita to capture the pointer, interfering with use of other applications. Any recommendations much appreciated!

Bonjour à tous !

J'ai un petit souci avec ma tablette graphique #Wacom #Intuos CTL 6100WL sous Linux #Mint (en vrai Linux #nird

Je n'arrive pas à la faire fonctionner en #bluetooth...
Alors, j'arrive bien à la connecter à la machine en bluetooth mais pas de mouvement de stylet.

Aucun problème avec en filaire en revanche (pression et mouvement nickel👌).

Si vous avez des idées ? #help

Le repouet rend la vie soyeuse et le poil agréable (ou l'inverse, je ne sais plus !).

PS : Oui, j'aime bien, parfois, m'installer à une place vide dans la classe quand je remplis une fiche leçon ou qu'on corrige un exercice avec ma tablette connectée ! ^^

Bonne journée !

Da ich den #Surface Studio Desktop derzeit nicht mit vertretbarem Aufwand auf #Linux umgezogen bekomme, zweitbeste Lösung gewählt:
schnuckeliges #Dock von @tuxedocomputers statt einfachem Netzteil ans Stellaris gehängt und mein altes #Wacom #Intuos entmottet. Ein bisschen Gefrickel, um die Tastenbelegung meinem Geschmack anzupassen und mit #Krita (statt #GIMP - sorry) bin ich echt glücklich.
Jetzt braucht's noch einen Monitor mit voll-kalibriertem Farbraum und ich bin wieder im Spiel!

Je crois qu'il va être temps de changer la pointe de mon stylet... Elle est lééééégerement émoussée. Et ça serait bien aussi que je nettoie ma tablette... Elle est cracra.

Gerade gemerkt, dass ich heute den Empfänger meines Wacom mit der Maus zurückgegeben habe, und nicht den Mausempfänger. Klug.
Und nein, der USB-Port an dem Tablett ist schon lange defekt und auch nur USB-Mini. Da die gerade aus dem neuesten macOS geflogen sind, bekommt man die bei Ebay hinterher geschmissen. PTH-650 falls jemand fragt.

Question for artistically-inclined folks, especially #macOS users:

Any recommendations for non-#Wacom drawing tablets?

With a little searching, it looks like #Huion or #XPPen are the most commonly mentioned competitors. Any thoughts, pro or con?

Background: I'm not actually any good at drawing, but I've been using Wacom #Intuos pen tablets for years as my primary "mouse". I find a pen tablet much more comfortable than a mouse, and though I don't draw, photo editing is much easier with a pen tablet. (Pen tablet only, no built-in screen necessary.)

However, while Wacom's hardware is good, their macOS driver support has been and continues to be _atrocious_. It is always weeks after a new macOS release comes out before their drivers are declared ready, and even once they are, they're invariably buggy and problematic. I waited for nearly a month after macOS #Sonoma was released to upgrade because I was waiting for Wacom to indicate their driver was ready; now that I've updated, their driver is crashing multiple times a day, generally requiring a reboot to get going again, and even when it works, for some reason using shift or the command key to select multiple items doesn't work if I'm using the Intuos (but does if I use an Apple trackpad for the mousing-and-clicking part of the operation).

I'm tired of fighting with Wacom. But I know nothing about the competitors, and I wonder about going from a ~$300 input device to a ~$70 input device. I don't expect it to be quite at Wacom's level, but I also don't want to end up with something that's even more frustrating than what I'm dealing with now.

Any recommendations, thoughts, suggestions, or personal experience to draw upon?

Thanks!
