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.
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
