I don't think it's a limitation. Wacom il pretty well supported on Linux.
But you might need to some munual settings. Either using a GUI tool if you use GNOME or KDE, or xsetwacom cli if you use another, minimalist, DE. Also, X11 is required. You will probably have limitation with wayland, if it works at all.
I'm on Wayland. Libinput detect the pinch and rotation with the fingers. I tested it with `libinput debug-events`.
And the zoom with finger pinch work in Eye of GNOME (eog).
Apparently, Krita see the trackpad function of this tablet as an old one. 2 fingers that move vertically is seen as mouse scrolling, but it's the only multi-touch gesture that work.
And the other tablet, more recent, work out of the box with Krita recognize all the multi fingers gesture.
Also, another idea: when Wacom introduced touch, it was at first always with a physical switch on the side of the tablet to turn it on/off (but it was also only for their higher quality product; so the Intuos).
It might worth in this case to report the information to the Krita bug tracker. But be sure to test the Krita 5.1.5(latest stable) in appimage version; and in X11 and not Wayland. Distribution packages are not well supported (rare or none are distro knowing how to build Krita with all the patch and against the correct library versions nowadays; the appimage solves that with upstream libs patched). Good luck!
@devnull Also, I forgot, but if you use GNOME 44 (because Eog/Eyes of GNOME) the D.E. (Mutter) introduced a very big bug to all Qt applications, making Drag and Drop impossible (eg. moving layer in drag and drop, etc https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2984 ). Bugs can also comes from this part.
All X11 surfaces created by gtk4 claim to support XDND via the XdndAware property. This was leading some clients, e.g. Qt, to consider the frame window as drop...
