Which drawing tablets work well with Linux?

A basic Wacom is probably the safest starting point. Many models work with Linux's built-in input support, and tablet settings may integrate with your desktop. Still, check the exact model before buying rather than assuming every feature will work automatically.

Have a look at OpenTabletDriver's supported tablet list before choosing a model. It can make some Huion and Gaomon tablets viable Linux options, so you aren't limited to one brand. Check the specific model, not just the manufacturer.

XP-Pen is a bit more model-dependent. The Deco Pro M has been reported working on Linux, but other models can take more setup or have buttons that don't work fully. If shortcut buttons matter to you, check those specifically before ordering.

For the Artist Pro 15.6 V2, OpenTabletDriver is an option, though Wayland has been described as less reliable than X11 for that setup. That's a reason to check reports for both your tablet and desktop session.

If you want the least tinkering, check whether the exact tablet has official Linux support as well as community driver support. A tablet can draw while still having problems with its extra buttons, so decide which features you actually need.
