I'm hoping to construct an ad-hoc level editor for my driving game thing and export point sets for object placement, curves for the roads, and height maps for elevation. I'm not sure how to make blender shit out a sparse height map, but I'm sure I'll find some abominable way to do it with python.

I wonder if my old wacom tablet still works 🤔

weird, pressure sensitivity doesn't seem to work anymore, but otherwise it seems fine???

ok the gnome wacom settings test panel thing shows the pressure sensitivity working just fine, so I guess it's just the gimp that's the problem hopefully

aaand it crashes blender :|

there's too much linux in here >:(

yup completely random which applications it works with. blender doesn't pick it up at all?

by any chance is this yet another thing wayland fucked up?

I'm gonna have to install Windows again to use this thing aren't I

Yup. It's wayland. again! it's always fucking wayland! I hate you so much wayland. The tablet works fine with Blender if I restart Gnome in Xorg mode. This operating system is such a fucking joke my hands are shaking with anger right now.

If you're going to wander into my mentions to tell me that it's good actually preferred even that the wayland team broke an entire ecosystem of applications that was working just fine for the last 20 years, do me a favor and just go block yourself instead? I'm not in the mood.

when linux gives you wayland you burn linux's house down

@aeva I suppose you know the accessibility screen reader thing?

@elrohir not first hand, but I heard they basically said fuck blind people?

@aeva yup. Apparently everyone got the hots for sandboxing nowadays so in Wayland apps cannot read each other's raw screen buffers to prevent leaks. This fucks screen readers and I'll bet is what fucked Wacom too. But God forbid someone who installs Linux would be dumb enough to download a keylogger on accident.
