What's the situation with Wayland? The post mentions X driver, but I suppose Wayland compositors need to handle styluses and drawing tablets in some different way? UPDATE: I found some info here: https://developer-docs.wacom.com/intuos-cintiq-business-tablets/docs/wayland-faqs https://developer-docs.wacom.com/intuos-cintiq-business-tabl... > A tablet should work as long as both the system compositor and the application you are using both support the Wayland Tablet Protocol. > The Wayland Tablet Protocol is supported by the most common compositors in Linux: Mutter (GNOME), KWin (KDE Plasma), and compositors based on wlroots (e.g. Sway).

But wayland doesn't support color management yet (if ever?). As of today Krita refuses to launch on wayland, so I keep using xorg for now.

  Oh, is there a bug for Krita to follow about it? I think color management in general is a big WIP for Wayland.

  I use Krista on Wayland on Fedora 35.

    Are you sure it's not Xwayland? I tried to force it to run on Wayland, but it failed spectacularly.

      I did the xeyes test, and you are right, it is XWayland, but then so are Gimp and Thunderbird.

        You can make Thunderbird use Wayland, either with an environment variable, or by using the Flatpak version and revoking its X11 socket access. GIMP works too, but I'm not sure how well.

        Wasn't Gimp still stuck with GTK 2? It can't work with Wayland until GTK 3 migration.

        2.99 (available as Flatpak, at least) is using Gtk 3.
