I have a wacom tablet. Just plugged it and started using. I have some colleagues who don't use linux. They have had bad experiences. I even saw an article or two on HN about wacom drivers phoning home.
If you aren't locked by proprietary software and wants to use a wacom tablet, I strongly recommend using linux.
Actually, if you aren't locked by proprietary software and wants to use a computer, I strongly recommend using linux.
- brnt 5y agoI use my Wacom in similar fashion: plug and play. Actually, this is my experience with printers and scanners as well. A huge difference with how I remember Windows, but then again things may have changed there as well. I mainly use it to sign paperwork :) Props to the use of Krita in their imagery!

- adhoc_slime 5y agomy Wacom drawing pad was a bit of a headache for finding drivers on windows. It makes me happy to hear they're improving that, becuase the tools are great.
