i’m using KDA plasma six with fedora. My wacom intous works great. I can’t remember if I installed a driver or just used what was in the OS but either way it was pretty simple.
Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore

I am writing this from Windows 11. I stil haven’t solved my wacom tablet issues on Linux. I still have a drive with Nobara 42, but I can’t use it. When I have some free time, I will get to the bottom of it, and perhaps (finally) ditch the Windows.

I have had feedback from another person on another forum saying they don’t have any issues either. Do you mind sharing your tablet model name, and any details you think might be relevant to this ? for instance mine is PTH-660, the one from 2024 that does touch as well (although I generally keep it off). Perhaps the distro details are important too, but tbf I’ve had the exact same issues with every distro I’ve tried : CachyOS, Nobara 42, Debian Trixie… it’s also only with Wayland, X11 works fine (but has other limitations regarding multimonitor that are problematic).

Yeah, wacom intous pro PTH – 660. I know it was purchased before the pandemic. I don’t remember the exact year. I’m using Wayland but without multiple monitors.
Did you try getting a driver from wacom?

No, I thought the entire driver was kernel level already with no need for tinkering. I will look this up, thanks for the suggestion

For me it is the displaylink dock driver which consume all the CPU in Ubuntu and Fedora. When that will sorted out, but I doubt it will happen anytime soon, I will finally ditch Windows.

I’m not sure what this is. DDG shows me things that look like port hubs ? but for displays ? I haven’t kept up with the times

I have 2 computers connected to an USB switch (not a port replicator but one that let switch the host of your USB switch) and the dock attached to this USB switch. This allows me to quickly all my desk (multiple monitors, webcam, microphone, gigabit network, etc…) with one click. Also both computer just require 2 cables for everything: USB and power cord. It took some time to put it all together but it is now my definitive battle station.
Unfortunately the dock does not work well with Linux and I am not able to find a non displaylink dock that enables me to achieve all of this. It is just a driver problem, but still…

It’s a USB connected video adapter. Not USB C DP alt mode. USB USB.
At the best of times it’s solidly OK. At the worst of times it’s absolutely horrendous.

If your laptop doesn’t have enough ports built in.
