Wacom Tablet in Linux

I wanted to mention that I found some use to my old cheap Wacom Graphical Tablet with my Linux computer. It has a touch screen, and I never used it before, as it’s awful compared to a Mac’s one. But it’s quite useful if you do not compare (as many things in our lives!). I don’t remember which model do you have, but if it has the touch screen too, in my opinion it’s nice to use as a scroll pad for websites. I like it way more than the scroll of the mouse.

The tablet isn’t very useful (as a graphical tablet) with multiple displays setup with sway and or hyprland (I haven’t tested, but read it’s similar to sway). But it should be useful with Gnome and KDE, if needed (also, just read about that). Since I don’t really need any graphical tablet these days, I just use it as a nice scrolling pad thing, instead of Apple’s one. If you have one with touch, you may want to try it too. It works out of the box, iirc. Or maybe there’s libwacom for that. Or maybe libwacom is for just tuning it, I don’t remember. Anyway, it’s quick and easy to test. I plugged it in, scrolled, worked fine, let it be then.
