Why Drawing Tablet Brands Won't Collaborate on Linux FLOSS Drivers
Summary
David Revoy describes his process of evaluating drawing tablets on GNU/Linux using Free/Libre and Open Source software, sharing device specs with Red Hat developers to improve open-source drivers. He details attempts to contact brands like Gaomon, XpPen, and Huion, which led to a rejection due to branding constraints and sharing device specs with Wacom; the post discusses linux driver infrastructure and ends with a plan to continue reviews one tablet at a time.
