Anyone got a #surface third-party slim pen? I have an official one but my kittens are very hungry for it, literally.
Thinking of getting a cheap one to leave attached to my Surface Laptop Studio, and keep the Real Deal in a drawer for when I need it. Silly but...man, that thing was expensive =/
I mentioned the only minor gripe I had using it was that while it worked out of the box - if you're on a dual/more monitor setup, the tablet surface will interact with the entirety of all of your monitors instead of just your primary monitor. This was a non-issue on my #SteamDeck setup since I only use a single monitor for that. On my main #EndeavourOS/#ArchLinux based PC though I do use a dual monitor setup with it. The good news is, if you do use a dual monitor setup or more, there's an official driver by XP-Pen you could install from the #AUR called xp-pen-tablet.
I installed it, restarted my PC, and now the XP-Pen Driver UI utility starts upon boot and through its nice GUI, I was able to easily configure the tablet to only interact with my primary monitor instead of both my monitors. For a cheap lil tablet to have THIS working THIS well on Linux, I couldn't be happier 😭 There are other configuration options I could tinker with in the app such as setting the pressure sensitivity of the pen, or what the buttons on the pen are binded to, but I just couldn't be bothered and really only needed this. Big W XP-Pen.
Anyone have experience using #Krita on an android tablet? I feel like it's really designed to be used with a keyboard from what I've seen. Not to mention the overwhelming amount of UI for an android app.
Right now, I'm using #IbisPaint, but I really want to switch to a #FOSS option.
Hi Fedi, I'm looking for something to let me use my laptop as a display tablet for my desktop PC. Both computers run Windows (10 and 11, respectively) and both Parsec and Duet do exactly what I want, but only on paid tiers. VirtualHere doesn't expose the pen either via AES nor MPP. Any suggestions? #Parsec#Duet#VirtualHere#drawingtablet#AskFedi
🐧 I wrote a new blog entry listing all the changes I made to turn the Lenovo Yoga 370 into my mobile GNU/Linux digital painting device. It's long because it contains detailed instructions for beginners. I hope it is helpful.
