I have a whacking great big huge Wacom drawing tablet (A3) sized, but it is an older one. I just plug it into the USB socket and the system recognises it like some kind of track pad, and programs like GIMP let me draw with it. Didn't have to do anything more than plug it in. You might want to google the particular model you're interested in along with keywords like linux compatibility. You may find that it simply "just works." This [1] suggests that support was on the way, a while ago, albeit for a different flavour of Linux, maybe by now someone's built a working package. I haven't gone searching in depth to see if there's any further development. The developer [2] has a blog. 1: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/01/wacom-smartpad-linux-support-bamboo 2: http://who-t.blogspot.com.au/2018/01/tuhi-daemon-to-support-wacom-smartpad.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+Who-t+(Who-T) Your other avenue is to look into how to make use of github projects, in general, then see if you can try the one for this drawing tablet. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.15.10-200.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Mar 15 17:14:41 UTC 2018 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
