i was wondering your thoughts on xp-pen and Krita. I'm currently thinking on switching from my old wacom cintiq to a new xp-pen but I am cautious. Is it working well in your opinion?
@troken Hi, it depends the operating system mainly, and the key app in the communication is "the driver". On GNU/Linux/X11, I do a complete review and share all my tips to install it in a comfortable way. https://www.davidrevoy.com/article1004/xppen-artist-pro-16-gen-2-review-on-gnulinux Everything works well here with Krita here, pressure, tilt, all at its full potential.
But I haven't tested with proprietary drivers made by XpPen on proprietary systems like Windows and Mac. Maybe someone on Ytb did?
@troken Yes, on the X11 session of GNOME t should be possible to customize it as in the article. With a bit of luck, newer Ubuntu will have it working 'out of the box' on Wayland. I'm working to give feedback to developper for the things to go into this way. π
I don't understand all, but I picked up that Wayland is the standard for many distributions nowadays. So hope they will update drivers accordingly. π
@troken Well, yes it is going to be the standard (and in mid 2024, distro like Fedora will remove totally X11). Unfortunately, Wayland changes the architecture: it's now up to the Desktop Environment to implement the settings for tablets. So, getting a tablet working will soon depend of KDE or GNOME or something else, but not for all D.E ... π Also, color calibration was an oversight for years on Wayland. All in all, this might make GNU/Linux improper for pro Artists/Graphists...
@troken Yes, but don't worry: with the deadline of 'Wayland must be ready' a team of dev, and artist who gives feedback (eg. me) are following carefully all of this. It might not be perfect by mid 2024 but already giant steps were done in the last monthes compare to what was done over the last 6 years. So there is also a big hope. Fortunately, distro with X11 like Debian will exist for a long time so I'll not have to go Win/Mac in case the Wayland-only is fully improper by 2024.
Hello Everyone ππ½, recently I distro-hopped to Debian Linux from Fedora Linux. And I thought I should write down all the steps that I did during this migration.
