From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It makes me only look at Wacom, because of their strong Linux support, so probably not great for the other companies.
this. they are shooting themselves in the foot.
Have had a small cheap wacom bamboo for more than 10 years. Not only the device works great in itself and it's quite sturdy but its support on Linux has always been stellar. Absolutely no complaints whatsoever.
I have also had similar results with my small Wacom bamboo, I should use it more but I have been too busy no do much creative these days.
Which, incidentally, proves the point of their marketing department.
