I own a ThinkPad X1 Tablet (Gen 2) - but the only thing that matters is that it is just a tablet with a touchscreen and Wacom pen.
When doing handwriting on it (using Rnote) I become very annoyed, because as soon as the stylus loses the hover signal (only about 1.5 cm) the rest of my hand starts moving the canvas. As I tend to pull the pen far from the paper often this is really an issue.
When using Windows for the first time (with Windows Ink) I remember palm rejection working exceptionally well, even without using the pen - it just magically knows that this is part of my hand and not a finger. Also from what I remember any touch that started while the pen was hovering will not be registered even when the pen gets pulled away (you have to stop touching the screen and then touch it again)
Is there any way to improve the palm rejection on Linux (I’m using Gnome with Wayland btw) By the way, is there a way to scroll with the stylus like on Windows? And are there any good handwriting utilities for Wayland (I’ve only heard of CellWriter but it doesn’t work well at all)?
Thanks!
You can already try GIMP beta, only as appimage poorly (or ubuntu ppa, works through distrobox) and report bugs.
It is pretty good, needs better defaults and it is crazy how GTK3 was the one where stuff started to get HUGE.
So you see buttons etc are bigger, not fitting the menus anymore. But it works, and it finally has color profiles and nondestructive filters, which are a base requirement for graphics design.
Nice, but I’ll wait on it. I use gimp in the same way I would paint, so it makes no difference to me. I’ll definitely start once again annoying graphic designer friends to try it out when it’s released.
