A next version of @kde@floss.social Plasma is just around the corner and it will come loaded with new features for drawing tablets and improved #wayland support. Shout-out to @redstrate for making it happen as part of their work on the We Care About Your Input - #KDE Goals project.

There is even a website with the current status and planned goodies.

@lindsays @dragonarchitect Granted, I always welcome competition as it makes it easier for people to get started and forces established players to up their game and cut prices.

  • So even if one doesn't switch brands it'll force #wacom to do better...

OFC they achieved dominance with both IP & patents as well as providing a very plug & play experience, with basically every creative & engineering software to if not take advantage of it, at least work fine with them.

  • Again, I sincerely hope the situation has gotten way better since the last time I looked at an #XPen device, but back then every competitior to Wacom outside of #Windows Systems looked jank (#macOS drivers were barely working Kext|s) and #Linux support was between "Resistive 1 point touchscreen" and "NOPE!", so there's that...

I don't claim my experience to be autoritative, up to date or scientifically backed up (sample size N <200 = not a scientific dataset) and I think it's important that I take a closer look...

@lindsays @dragonarchitect
Really?

But then again my recommendatio for #Wacom is just my experience as #Sysadmin and someone who equipped #CreativeProfessionals and daily-drives an #X230Tablet, so I'm biased due to 15+ years of experience with Wacom.

  • It's not that I don't think other brands can't deliver good products and even exceed in terms of price/performance ratio.

It's just that I have my plugs and have even setup some fancy stuff like 27" Cintiq Pros on free-floating arms so people can tilty-swively them however they feel ike with their setup...

  • But then again same folks also bought maxed-out "#Cheesegrater" #MacPro|s at release and the #ProDisplayXDR so clearly they just wrote it off as business expense, so there's that.

I always recommend people to try out said devices if possible. Maybe you'll find it to work out fine or be useless...

  • I've seen both happen to people across brands...

We've been using #Wacom tablets for about 20 years.

Windows and the MacOS.

In those 20 years the quality of the software became worse and worse.

The frequent drver releases aren't a sign of quality. Each release too often brings regressions.Each release doesn't fix long standing bugs.

What broke the camel's back for me is the recent "app-ificiation". They've been pushing a crappy app for ages and now it sits on your desktop.

I want minimal, invisible, reliable drivers - not apps.
