@Konqi Hey, yes. My last one was a Intuos Pro Large, a gift from Wacom (src: davidrevoy.com/article921/ ), but I managed to "scratch it to death" and make the stylus wobble so much in 9 months of intensive usage that this model wasn't usable anymore... Their quality really went downhill while still getting a high price tag.
On another hand, for the same period of usage my Artist 16 Pro gen2 of XpPen is still on my desk, and functional as in day 1. I'll soon try their 19 Artist Pro. 😊

@davidrevoy David, how good is Linux support using XP Pen vs Wacom, just for curiosity.

@Konqi On Wayland, both are still atrocious and reduced to bare minimum.

On X11, Wacom has a better support and some DE like Plasma propose a descent GUI for configuring them
On another hand, the XPPen models are supported mostly by pure luck when their circuit board is standard UGEE Tablet architecture already supported in the kernel, and then, even with that they require post tweaks and scripts. That's what I try to post on my blog, under the "hardware" tag davidrevoy.com/index.php?tag/h

@davidrevoy Excellent! Thank you David, I was asking you about your experience because following your post series I started to get interested into maybe acquire one inexpensive table for personal use.
