Hey everyone! I'm currently using a Huion Kamvas 13 (GS1331) graphics tablet with my Bazzite 43 NVIDIA Edition setup, and I'm running into a frustrating issue. My system info is as follows: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, 32GB RAM, and MSI B650 Gaming Plus Wi-Fi. I've recently switched from Windows to Linux, specifically Bazzite, and although it's been mostly smooth sailing, I'm struggling to get my tablet to work properly. The pointer is offset by about 1mm from the pen tip, and I've tried calibrating it without any luck. Bazzite seems to not like driver installations, but the built-in drivers worked for a time. I've also tried installing Mint on another SSD, where I successfully got the official Huion drivers up and running, but the offset issue persists. I've attempted various solutions, including using xinput for screen mapping and creating udev rules, but nothing seems to fix the issue. I'm definitely still getting used to Linux, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I hear you about the frustrations! That's why I set up a dual boot with Linux Mint, which still uses X11. Just a heads-up: if you decide to try Digimend, you usually don’t need the official Huion drivers alongside; they might conflict. Make sure to disable any drivers that could interfere to get the best results. Good luck, and keep me posted on how it goes!
I’ve got the Huion 13 Kamvas too, and I think I can help! The official Huion drivers only work on X11, but Bazzite is mainly Wayland now. If you're sticking with Wayland, you might want to switch to KDE Plasma—it has better support for tablets and includes a calibration feature similar to Windows. I personally run X11 on KDE Debian and use the Digimend driver, which aligns the cursor perfectly. You can check it out here: https://digimend.github.io/drivers/. Just keep in mind that Digimend drivers tend to work best on Arch and Debian, so they might be tricky on Fedora-based systems like Bazzite.
