Hey there folx, I’m getting ready to go back to school and I was curious of any distro that have good pen support. The basic use see is likely just reading studies and being able to highlight in the PDF.

I’m looking at either a new framework12 or trying to find a surface to meet these needs. Likely won’t be until next year I’m in school so I have time to tinker and troubleshoot.

    I’m using EndeavourOS with Plasma on a Thinkpad L13 Yoga G4. A recent update fixed the ACPI message SW_TABLET_MODE, so now the device automatically disables the keyboard after a couple seconds of being flipped, and plasma switches to tablet mode automatically. From there, everything works with zero problems. I use it to take notes in uni and switch often from normal laptop work to tablet mode for note taking.

    I didn’t notice exactly when it was fixed, but since I bought it and until some time ago there was a problem with I think an I2C device that prevented the switch, and I had to use a set of cobbled together scripts to manually do it

      do you use a stylus? what is the input lag when writing like?

      This sounds exactly like my use case as well.

      I also like to read papers for shits and giggles so being able to highlight important parts, annotate (either by hand or type) will be great for that and school.
