Using drawing tablets with Linux

I don't have any experience with drawing tablets and Linux. However, here are some resources I found that you may find useful.

Drivers

WACOM

Many distros come with Wacom drivers pre-installed. More details here: https://support.wacom.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500006331202-Does-Wacom-have-a-Tablet-Driver-that-will-support-Linux

NON-WACOM

Some tablet manufacters ship their own linux drivers.

OpenTabletDriver

Often, people prefer to use OpenTabletDriver for tablets on linux. This is especially popular in the osu community.
