David Revoy doesn't recommend Fedora 40 for digital artists any more. The main reasons are regressions in tablet software with Plasma 6, and Krita not being a Wayland app.

- jpetso 2y agoHe added an edit that the tablet software in Plasma 6 still works as it did before when run in X11. Only if you switch to Wayland, or your distro does it for you by removing X11 packages, will you get the (for the time being) less capable version.
- rcxdude 2y agoYeah, sadly tablet support is one of the areas where wayland has been particularly slow in terms of getting its act together (it's explicitly disabled in krita because of this, which I think is a combo of standards not existing, compositor support, and Qt support). It's definitely the main reason I'm still on Xorg.
- wing-_-nuts 2y agoWhich is hilarious when you realize that wayland started as an automotive infotainment project.
- red_trumpet 2y ago> automotive infotainment project I haven't heard that story before. Got any references?
