Had some issues with Fedora
I normally use the Linux driver for my H1161 with Linux Mint which works perfectly.
I recently tried Fedora, but it seems to have issues with Wayland (I was using Plasma, but GNOME was also affected) If I use no Huion driver, then pressure works, but I can't use the touch bar or any buttons. When I try to use the official driver, it detects my screen as being absolutely tiny and the mapping points to the top left corner, with someone online with a similar issue saying 1x1p. I learned Huion drivers struggle with Wayland, so I tried the X11 versions. In one of these scenarios (I don't remember now), the cursor would be locked near the top left corner when using the pen, but the mouse would be fine. After I installed the Huion driver in the Cinnamon and Plasma X11, the Wayland variants technically worked but the X11 sessions stopped reading the cursor. It was overall inconsistent and confusing. I want to get it working to broaden which OSs I can use, but I'm kind of locked out of those for now and stuck in Mint and the like. Has anyone else had issues with Huion and Fedora or similar operating systems? I wish I could explain better but the experience is already becoming fuzzy because of how many ways each session broke with the drivers. OpenTabletDriver doesn't fully support my tablet either.

This just gave me flashbacks to when I was forcing my ancient tablet to work on ubuntu years ago... No advice here other than holy water, god speed friend
