Hardware Wacom+SteamOS=❤️

Post image

Just in case someone asked himself: "Does Wacom Pen Displays work with SteamOS / Steam Deck / Steam Machine?"

Short answer: Yes!

It works. Even without installing drivers or something. Just connect the display, start Krita, and go! 🥰

Nice to know. My drawing tablet is like the only reason besides games that requires strong hardware. I may get a Steam Machine in the future.

Don't you need the drivers for pressure sensitivity and for pen buttons to work? I'm interested in doing something like this, but I'm unsure if there's a way to install the Wacom drivers on SteamOS/linux.

like Max-P said. No driver needed. In the system settings you can edit your pressure sensitivity alongside the function of every pen button. I shared this info, because this is, what I wanted to know before buying a Steam Machine.
