I'm probably one of the few reviewers who got this to replace my pointing device. I suck at drawing, but I wanted to learn, and my mouse at work was bothering me, so I figured I would try this out. Surprisingly, it was basically plug and play with Linux, Fedora 30. I did NOT use it for anything art related at work, just as a pointing and clicking device. The Digimend drivers should work fine for it, just google for them, although configuring specific settings is more advanced, and required me to use the command line, and I'm unsure if there's a way to map the buttons. But for something that supposedly only works for windows and mac, it was great on linux.
I have the protector on it in the picture, the keyboard is an Anne pro v2 60%, and the mouse is a Razer Mamba, so you can see the size comparison. Only changes I wish I could make would be allow me to switch between absolute mode and relative mode using the express keys; I think you have to go into the driver gui and click a radio button to pick the mode, but you're unable to bind it to a key. On Linux, I couldn't get the top button on the pen to register at all, so I had to create key binds to do middle click. Other than that, works great, the penholder is super convenient. I actually also ordered the XP-PEN gs640, the smaller one with no buttons, to use at work in relative mode, and that works great as well.
This has pressure sensitivity and tilt functions that seem to work great in Krita.
Definitely a worthwhile pick up if you're looking for an alternative input device or good quality, inexpensive drawing pad.
