   :linux: Note: Not a sponsored review, but I received the tablet for free. It's a model I selected myself on the XpPen catalog as I wanted to review budget friendly hardware this time and on the way reports the specs to the Linux devs. A big thank you to @whot !

     @pieq Thank you! Oh yes, I had a Wacom Intuos 4 in 2011 for 399€. And this one is like as good, and more slim. It's amazing these prices.

     True, the scratching of the overlay surface broke my heart 💔 But I knew it would be informative. Especially to tell user to take care to not drop USB cables and HDMI connector on their active surface. It can quickly get an impact with anything metal.

     @davidrevoy very nice review! I remember the first tablet we got was an A5 Wacom, back in the early 2000s, and although it was an entry level model, it was definitely not 70 USD!

     Also, thank you for doing all that extra work to help Linux devs releasing better drivers, and Linux users having more options down the line!

     The part of the video where you scratch the surface was painful to watch... 😱🫣

     @davidrevoy Would you consider moving back to a screenless pen tablet? 😅

     Until some point in history you were one of the few artists that almost convinced ne to move to a screenless pen tablet but then you went into the dark side with the XP pen artists pro 16 😆

     @Juankprada True, it require compatible ratio/resolution. I remember I succeed with xrandr on X11 to map a 1440p monitor on a 1080p Cintiq 13HD with downscaling. It was a fun test, but the fonts were small and blury, and setup wasn't that stable, many small glitch to clone with a scaling like that... I was probably in a territory of 'the feature exists, but nobody ever beta-tested it in production so it was bit rotten'.

     @davidrevoy Ahh in unable to try this in a painless way as my main screen is 4K but my tablet is FHD, so is either struggling with the mapping or wasting the 4K potential@of my main screen 😰

     @Juankprada Hehe, I'm still using the display tablets as mainly screen-less tablet 😆 that's the main reason (and honestly, it works well and it's a way to get large active area). That's why you can see me cloning them to my main display. 😊
