BEGIN RANT

I used Linux, many distros*, as my primary desktop and everywhere else from 1998 to 2012. I used Unix starting in 1982, with Macintoshes off and on since their introduction.

In 2012, I moved my primary "desktop" to a MacBook. I liked it a lot, and a Mac is still my primary desktop. Since I retired in 2015, I maintain very few servers.

So my Linux sysadmin skills have atrophied.

 Haack's Networking - Drawing Tablets & X11/Wayland  

🖥️ It is nice to see that my Gaomon tablets work right out of the box under KDE 6.6, Debian 14, and Wayland ...

🎉 Massive thanks to the #wayland #redhat team and also a shout to @davidrevoy who recently dropped his Interim setup which first clued me in to "mouse mode" being on the horizon for stable 💘 (finally)

✅️ Sure enough, in Debian Testing w/ Wayland, the "Drawing Tablet" setting in KDE 6.6 automagically works with the following Gaomon tablets with no proprietary driver installed:

1️⃣ MK 2018
2️⃣ PD 1161

💡 The last two years were choppy and I even had to write a custom X config for the MK 2018 to teach an applied math course. Until recently, seeing no progress on the horizon for "out of the box" functionality, I had settled on @XLibreDev @sonicdesktop and was quite happy. In fact, very grateful to them for getting me by this last year - mucho thanks. #xlibre #sonicde #sonic

🏁 But, at the end of the day, I really need mainstream / stock Debian to just work with drawing products, not just for me ... but for my daughter's art projects - she just got her art accepted at @ffmpeg and I'm very proud of her. We rely on these products - there's no denying. At present:

Dascha uses:
1) X1 Carbon 4th Gen - using KDE neon stable (art attached that she did at 13 for ffmpeg)

2) HP All-In-One Touch i5 - using KDE neon stable

All working better natively in Wayland than under the prop driver. They work similarly well to how they work in X now.

Jonathan (me) uses:
1) 3x mini Ryzen PCs - KDE 6.6, Debian Testing, and Wayland - 1 w/ PD 1161 and 2 w/ MK 2018 - all working including "mouse mode" under wayland / stock Debia (art / teaching).

2) Dell 1950 laptop 2023 i7 w/ NVIDIA - had to manually build the nvidia driver under latest on their website, other than that no issues, running Debian Testing, Wayland, KDE 6.6 - MK 2018 works via USBC hub for teaching

3) X1 Carbon 4th gen i5 - Debian Testing, KDE 6.6, Wayland - works with Wacom stylus similar to Dascha's setup no issues

⁉️ How did this happen? I was fixing an old Precision 7920 and setting it up as a PeerTube runner on Lubuntu 26.04 (better with NVIDIA lol). I got bored and installed Kubuntu Desktop and then pluggeed in an MK 2018. It worked ... & so I started testing and researching KDE point releases & looking back at Mr. Revoy's post and switched all 7 machines over in < 48 hours.

Why did Kubernetes become so widely adopted?

In part 2 of this series, our writer Andy Oram explores how timing, Google’s backing, the creation of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), and #opensource community involvement contributed to Kubernetes’ rise.
