Recently switched from windows 10 to Debian 12.5 bookworm since I have a unique setup (Nvidia 2070S GPU, 2 1080p monitors, Dell Canvas, and TV) and the default inclusion of Nvidia proprietary drivers and years of Wacom support have made everything workable (nearly out of the box!).

However, touch still isn’t great. It works well in Xournal++ and decently in Krita, but struggles everywhere else as a mouse input.

I’m considering hopping to Pop OS! once a stable version of their much anticipated COSMIC DE launches since I love the upgrades over GNOME.

Anybody running a pen display similar to the Dell Canvas on Pop OS! that can speak to it’s support for pen and touch input?

    Yeah, OP should probably add “Rust-based” or specific Epoch to avoid confusion.

    like 5 years or more

    They’re really good & extremely dedicated devs with lots of experience working on it, so I think that’s a little bit of an underestimation, I think it’s within the possibly of getting there within 5 years, maybe not exactly 1:1 ofc. However, they’ve really put in a lot of thought into base of the project, and in my experience having a strong well designed base can propell future development forward much faster than initial estimates. Even now, they’ve been smashing mile stones much faster than expected and if they keep their current trajectory at a steady rate I believe it’s possible the meet some level of parody within a 5 year goal. Ofc, anything can happen so only time will tell. Also, considering the fact that they’re not having to deal with the X11 tech debt…

      Yes I assume the same. We just need a lot of people willing to use Rust.

      GTK and QML are way way easier I think.
