The 2 wacom devices I own, one of those small, cheap, plastc tablets and a digitizer built into a laptop screen, both have worked flawlessly with Linux. I think they have kernel support, hence how they just work.

Good to know!

Wacom now joins my long list of abusive tech companies I will never patronize again.

As long as you are making a list, consider adding Logitech to it.

They force the installation of Logitech Download Helper without prompting as soon as you connect the USB to the computer.

Wacom has been a pretty awful company for a long time so this isn't surprising.
