God I really hope someone figures out Wayland+Wacom. I cannot wait to escape Windows
Wacom tablets should work with KDE and Wayland. They work great with X11 though.
Yea, I know. Thanks. It's what people told me (users and developers) but it just doesn't work for me. You're right that it works fine with the X11 session. The problems have been the same in every Wayland distro I tried (Debian Trixie, Nobara 42 and Bazzite something) and are consistent between two (very different) tablets, so I ended up ruling out the hardware. At least on the tablet side..., because I have yet to try the same thing on my laptop to rule out any potential signal issue with my USBs
tl;dr it needs a little more investigation on my part to explain why it doesn't seem reproducible for other users
I’m stuck on windows for HDR compatibility reasons.
Absolutely sucks. I hate it so much. You can’t do anything with the computer.
X11?
Apparently Wayland has become default in most distros, and actually installing X11 back on some of them is a lot of work (it was straightforward only on CachyOS) and I don't have the tux-fu to wedge it in by sheer hackery.
So there's this end of life situation and the fact that I work with different monitors and do CGI so there's a few more downsides there too (scaling, color management)
Oh! Well. Yes. X11 does not handle different DPIs at the same time very well.
Yes, but to be frank thar's not a dealbreaker. Annoying, but can do with. The real threat is investing time and energy into switching my workstation to Linux and find in a year or so that I have to update and it's Wayland and now it's broken again
