They are a tiny company as well, yet they have employed kernel developers since the early 00s when Linux was far far from what we see today when it comes to software for artists. Keep in mind also that Wacom is more than just about artists, as they produce display/pen integrations for offices where customers need to read and sign agreements and tiny black and white LCD displays with pens for signatures.
All praise on my part, but it would have been nice if the blog post had used photos of people using their tablets with Linux rather than (at least to my eye) Windows. '^^
- JohnHaugeland 5y agowacom has more than a thousand employees and had nearly a billion dollars in revenue last year their market cap is $150 billion https://craft.co/wacom https://craft.co/wacom
- Cyph0n 5y agoI did a double-take when I saw $150B. It’s actually ¥150B, so around $1.2B.
- robocat 5y agoWacom Revenue ¥108.5 B (2021), Market Capitalization ¥153.1 B I expected the market cap to be higher for that revenue, but Logitech Price/Sales ratio is 2.1, and Razer is 1.7 so maybe normal for that market?

- ninjin 5y agoNo disagreement here, but to me 1,000 employees is small when talking about a hardware company that as far as I know does a very large part of the manufacturing in-house. Also, I think you forgot to convert JPY to USD, at the time of writing that means dividing by ~120 which makes the numbers less insane.
