Holy guacamole, Huion has finally agreed to send hardware for one of my "Running on GNU/Linux with only Free/Libre and Open Source Software" reviews. I've been working on that for years!

@hypha Hehe , 😂 I do really worry that this will transform my tutorial and making of video channel into "a commercial review booth." ...
But at the same time, i know how usefull my post install guide with only FLOSS can be.
And also: I love getting new tablets for free, its an expense less in my budget.
If i ever become an evil commercial influencer, let me know, right ? 😇

Ksanaroth but spooky :drgn_dark_mlem:

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org daaaamn, thats awesome :D from our experience on fedora with wayland, it works flawlessly out of the box. Really looking forward to KDE 6.2 with their new tablet settings.

@davidrevoy

is that tablet-stylus hardware like wacom?

@rzeta0 Yes, it's one of their competitor. They became popular by increasing their quality while keeping a lower price on this market. The same strategy also for Xencelabs, Gaomon and XpPen.
Unfortunately, Huion decided to propose only proprietary drivers on their website for GNU/Linux, with a discutable and variable quality and no possibility to report issues, fix them, or improve them. That's why a free/libre software open driver is important to me, and also testing hardware running on it.

@davidrevoy so far I've been a huge fan of my Huion stuff, hope it works for you!
