Upgrading your Windows tablet to Linux without losing digitizer compatibility.
Upgrading your Windows tablet to Linux without losing digitizer compatibility.
I'm looking at an old Toshiba encore write 2 running on a Windows tablet. I'm considering moving to Linux to get a fresh start, especially for sketching. The performance drops after updates bother my art work, so speed matters. My main worry is the digitizer support—Wacom Active ES and Toshiba Trupen are involved. Can I switch from Windows while keeping everything working smoothly? Any tips would be great!
Wacom drivers on Linux are working well, so everything should function properly. You can test different distributions to see if it fits your setup. If it works without issues, it will perform nicely. The main challenge will be locating a drawing application unless you’re familiar with open-source tools like Krita. Switching applications may require some adjustment, as the quality might differ from what you're used to.
Sounds great! It’ll definitely be engaging even if there are no surprises.
