 @foervraengd yes, the right click pop up palette on stylus button is really whats make krita usable without a keyboard.  @gbraad yes, it's the 370. The built in digitizer is a AES, the stylus is a wacom bamboo first gen, with AAAA battery. @davidrevoy At least this allows use of 'your own' pen! Currently using a Galaxy Tab with EMR pen(s); staedtler noris and the wacom one. How often do you replace the (4A) batteries? @gbraad I have it only since a big month, i'm rarely using. Yes EMR tech is the holy grail of digitiser, on samsung laptop and wacoms (and few other, an acer, etc) have it. But too hard to find one supported on Gnu/Linux and it was my priority. @davidrevoy newer machines with EMR is an issue. we still have two lx230t here as my wife also now understands the appeal. success with the machine. it does look nice(r). @itmodulo hard to find these rechargeable... ... but sometimes you will find them as 6 total inside a rechargeable 9V battery. check online if that is the case in your region. I did find them a long time back here in China @davidrevoy I know someone who has the exact same laptop. Is the 1st gen wacom bamboo the on’y one to work with it ? @Lanza no, any stylus adapted for WACOM AES tech will work on the digitiser. Lenovo has some too afaik.

@RB_TCP Oui, Lenovo Yoga 370. Je fais une review bientôt dessus, c'est du vieux matériel avec bonne reparabilité et bien supporté sous Gnu/Linux ☺️ @davidrevoy OK 👌 merci pour le retour. Vous pourriez orienter le review sur l'angle 'digital painting' ? Merci d'avance. Bonne continuation.  @bhaugen Thanks for noticing. I could have been a bit more precise: Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 370. A not new model.

@davidrevoy I once tried to draw on a touchscreen tablet, it reacted to the touch of a hand, not only a pen 😒 @Pixel_Lime yes, many touch screen with stylus (majority) are badly made. It took me a lot of time to find one working on Gnu/Linux @davidrevoy Why are you using GNU/Linux? @Pixel_Lime Its a bit long to explain within a toot, but I explained my reasons on top of this install guide if you are curious https://www.davidrevoy.com/article913/fedora-36-kde-spin-for-a-digital-painting-workstation-reasons-and-post-install-guide Is this guide also good to follow along of one wanted to follow in your footsteps with the tablet ? Was there anything you found particularly tricky getting the mobile station set up ? @revrocky @Pixel_Lime yes, i had a lot of issue, trial and error and special settings for the mobile. I'll make a dedicated guide later for linux mobile painting.  @davidrevoy I'm using a Lenovo Yoga 460 and with Linux Mint Cinnamon everything works fine including rotating the display and recognizing the hand and pen. With Manjaro I did not get it to run. @davidrevoy Now it's intriguing to read an article on how well it's fares for creative work on Linux with this laptop 😆 I have been scouring the internet trying to find a device that can replace the hole left by the surface. Thanks for sharing @davidrevoy I have Krita on my tablet but when I opened it up my non-drawing hand immediately tried typing keyboard shortcuts and my brain malfunctioned and I never opened it again! Any tips for laying it out/using Krita on tablets? @AesAthena It's long. The default are really bad and it need settings. It will be part of a future review i'll write about it (or make a video) 😊 @davidrevoy @maja merci pour l'applet vertical. Oui, j'imagine que la machine est pas faite pour blender en sculpt. On est sur un petit i5 avec un gpu intégré intel. Mais quand je ferai une review, je testerai ca et eevee pour le fun. @davidrevoy this rules. Thanks for sharing. Would you have any info on how the new lenovo active pens behave on linux? @davidrevoy Hello, I have a question. What kind of model is this? Where can you buy this model? |
