@carlschwan Thank you very much for the feedback and clarifications. Very good to know it's possible to get a Plasma6 X11 setup with the previous tablet config module. That should include maybe a Neon KDE Stable among my list of possible good distro for painting.

Have a look as well at #openSUSE, there is #Tumbleweed as most actual but still stable (so factory and automatic testing was passed), #Slowroll which was a delayed and hardened Tumbleweed and #openSUSELeap which is more a LTS like system. All supports KDE/plasma and still X11 pretty well.
