It feels good to draw these two again for the next MiniFantasyTheater!

My cat found a bug in Krita, and it's already fixed 😽 💜 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=523469

I’m sharing a bit of my trip this week with my mobile Krita/KDE Neon Linux workstation. Tiny samples from the train, Wikimania conference, and the hotel room! Producing my weekly comic this way was challenging, but I’m really glad it worked out!

For Instagram, my art is "Likely made with AI". Hard to be an artist in 2026...

While I wrapped up the video editing for my review of the massive XpPen 27" (coming soon on the channel), I started filming shots for the XpPen Artist 12" 3rd and... I just had to share this because it’s just too cute! I don’t regret choosing the pink model. 🩷 :blobaww:

@HauntedOwlbear @grim_elsewhere yes, good choice, it's a great one, it was my main for a big years (but then I had the 19" and got stuck on that since) You can find my review and blog post about it: https://www.davidrevoy.com/article1004/xppen-artist-pro-16-gen-2-review-on-gnulinux

Since Feb 2025 its driver joined the kernel https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/hid/bpf/progs/XPPen__ArtistPro16Gen2.bpf.c , so, it's plug and play under GNOME wayland and Plasma Wayland.
Might be tricky on other DE but possible depending the tools they have to interact with libinput.

@grim_elsewhere @HauntedOwlbear Hey, I haven't tested the third generation yet. But I have the Artist 12 3rd gen in my queue for test, so I'll quickly see what's different from the 2nd gen (the Artist Pro 16 gen2 has now a FLOSS udev-hid-bpf).

My assumption for https://www.xp-pen.com/product/artist-16-3rd.html : stylus will be recognized plug and play as a generic Microsoft Surface: it will work (coordinate/tilt/pressure) but hardcoded 2nd barrel button to an eraser mode. Button on the frame will not work. (1/2)

@grim_elsewhere @HauntedOwlbear (2/2) if I succeed at making something (udev-hid-bpf rule) for my Artist 12" gen3 (future test after the 27" Pro (gen2)) , this model https://www.xp-pen.com/product/artist-12-3rd.html , maybe getting the 16 3rdgen to work will not be a lot of work on top of this driver; same number of buttons, same wheel on the frame, same generation. It might only require to add in the rules the address of the device (that was like that for the 14, 16, 19, 27 gen2 src: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libevdev/udev-hid-bpf/-/blob/main/src/bpf/testing/0040-XPPen__ArtistPro16Gen2.bpf.c#L11 ).

Just contributed my first drawing-tablet driver! 🎉 It is for this giant XpPen Artist Pro 27 (gen2) I received (sponsored in exchange of a review on my channel). I adapted the existing specs of the 16" and 19" and it taught me so much, from compiling to submitting a MR. Everything now works perfectly on my GNU/Linux KDE Neon Plasma... Feeling accomplished! Review video coming soon!

Why Drawing Tablet Brands Won't Collaborate on Linux FLOSS Drivers

After investigation; Gaomon, XpPen, and Huion won't collaborate on open-source drivers because of outdated naming conventions. Here's what I learned from direct contact with their technical teams, and what I plan to do to move forward.

@cwebber 🤣 There is even on the GUI an icon to like and share the skeleton.
The skeleton social network!
