About this tag
The linux drawing tag on WindowsForum.com collects discussion of using Linux-based tools and repurposed hardware for digital drawing and pen input. A recent example covers turning a Surface Pro 3 into a wireless drawing tablet for a Linux desktop with Weylus, letting someone draw in Krita on a desktop PC while using the Surface as a mirrored pen display or screenless input tablet. The thread notes that pen pressure and hover positioning worked, while pen buttons, palm input, and ergonomics were less cooperative. Coverage stays practical, focused on reusing existing hardware and free software rather than buying new creative devices.
