- m4rtink 7y agoA decent regular Linux distro running tablet with a Wacom digitizer (precise pen with pressure and tilt support) would be really nice with all the nice graphics tools we already have (Krita, Mypaint, Blender, Inkscape, etc.). At the moment the only alternative (not counting thd horrendously expensive Windows running mobile studios sold by Wacom) is a couple high end Andrpid tablets and the Ipad Pro & their bunch of proprietary drawing apps.
- justinclift 7y agoYeah. I'm hoping the Librem 5 works out well enough for Purism, that they do the same thing for tablets. :)

- m4rtink 7y agoInteresting! But according to the specs I don't see any mention of pen support, which is quite a shame due to all the possibilities precise pointing enables on a tablet. Oh well might still get it in case the price is right for other use cases. :)
