@davidrevoy non you don't want to ask for a driver. You want to ask for the specifications so you can find someone to write a proper driver.Specifications are part of the user manual.cf. https://www.haiku-os.org/blog/mmu_man/2021-10-04_ok_lenovo_we_need_to_talk/

@davidrevoy drivers have literally zero reason to be proprietary.They are only meant to be used with certain devices THAT YOU'VE BOUGHT!!! Making source code of a driver visible won't help you make a new device and infringe on patents or what not.And even if one driver also works for another device of the same category, SO FUCKING WHAT THEN? It's not like anybody lost anything as the result.So what is the point of proprietary drivers? There's none!

@drq Yeah... Telemetry. Wacom was already caught hands full in the honey pot: https://robertheaton.com/2020/02/05/wacom-drawing-tablets-track-name-of-every-application-you-open/ .It made top news of many tech website https://www.tomshardware.com/news/wacom-tablet-sending-data-google-analytics and had to publish apologies and fix it (by adding option for consent, of course). I guess it is the same here. Brands wants to know who use their driver, for what, how long... I would probably advice someone installing their driver to put the executable behind a strong firewall rule.

@srestegosaurio @drq On proprietary O.S; it looks like, yes. The article of Robert Heaton concludes the system was reactivated after the shitstorm.No telemetry on libwacom , xf86-input-wacom and input-wacom on GNU/Linux for sure; these are open-source projects and Free/Libre.

@sivar Hey, no idea. I refused the hardware for a review because they came back with a proprietary driver. So, I never tested. Right now, I'm using: https://www.davidrevoy.com/article913/fedora-36-kde-spin-for-a-digital-painting-workstation-reasons-and-post-install-guide

@straw @drq @srestegosaurio I thought it already had, like, since years (one of the first thing made on Gnome3 on Wayland). But anyway; with Mypaint broken on Wayland and Krita having trouble and bugs to run as a XWayland app, it has not a lot of point for painters to move to Wayland right now.

@davidrevoy @drq @srestegosaurio is Krita broken when running not on XWayland native? it was ironically always broken on KDE for me, the menu bar didn't show up so I couldn't export images.I use labwc, which is a small wlroots-based compositor, which can receive wacom input but doesn't do anything with it.

@straw On X11, it works fine; but depends the package. Appimage has all the patched Qt and fine tuned library version to get the less bug on it.

@drq Yes, it was malware/illegal (at least in today's world Europe with RGPD, and bypassing user consent). But on Twitter, someone pointed me that now Wacom ask at install, but the sentence let think the hardware will function worst without accepting it; and the button to reject is difficult to find (a dark pattern). This , and a ToS and a "I accept" when user just install and want to benefit of their hardware makes it possible legally now.

@lanodan Yes, even Xp-Pen... I know them well because we were partner for a sponsored review/video. I asked them a FLOSS driver, and it was them among the first to comeback with a proprietary (Qt based) driver. In my video review, I rant about it https://www.davidrevoy.com/article842/review-of-the-xp-pen-artist-24-pro-on-linuxFor your XpPen on Linux, it means your distribution ship the kernel module Digimend, a community project maintained by a single dev, in a long pause right now ( look at the date of last commits https://github.com/DIGImend/digimend-kernel-drivers ,and PR)

@davidrevoy Nah, the XP-Pen Deco 1 (basic one, no funny things like a display) is supported out of the box without any additional drivers.cf. USB_DEVICE_ID_UGEE_XPPEN_TABLET_DECO01 inhttps://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/drivers/hid/hid-uclogic-core.c

@lanodan I see. It looks like I stand corrected. Thank you for taking the time to point the driver's code in the source of the kernel itself. I had no idea it was possible! That's pretty cool for these tablets đ

@post âșïž I met (thanks to signing sessions) followers with vision impairment or deficiencies. I learned about Braille Devices, and small tips on the web that makes their life easier. They have a fantastic ability to workaround website and situations; but they shouldn't be the one who does the extra effort. With all of that at mind, I can take a little time for adding captions. Thank you for noticing!

@drq @davidrevoy > drivers have literally zero reason to be proprietary.> They are only meant to be used with certain devices THAT YOU'VE BOUGHT!!! Look at this retard.Retard, do you know what an egg is? The thing that comes out of a chicken? Sort of like a large white pebble? Well, now imagine a proprietary egg. Youâre now holding something shapeless, a dark foggy substance, in which you can see something resembling a mini-galactic. What you see has nothing to do with whatâs inside it, but itâs made to appear so in order to create an impression of importance and complexity in the customerâs mind. You can feel the weight of that âeggâ in your palm, but you canât feel its shape. Your fingers hit a gravitational force that meddles with your perception the harder, the stronger you try to press on the dark substance. Someone stronger than you can probably press it more, but even that person could never be able to figure its real shape or dimensions.At home you have a fridge. A usual fridge, where on the back of the door you have that egg holder thing with 8 round holes. Now you try to put the dark substance into that holder, but it falls out of it for some reason. The fuck? Okay, you read some advice online, shake the substance three times then screw it in on the invisible threads. And it looks like itâs now sitting in place, though you canât say for sure, because the edges of the dark substance are fog. You close the fridge.The next day you think of making fried eggs, you open your fridge and see the dark substance attempting to kill your cat with a knife. You catch the âeggâ, let the cat out, take the knife and break the âeggâ to a bowl â only to find out, that only a half of the white and the yolk are coming out. Wtf? Now you canât make your favourite sunny side up eggs, as the yolk is split. And thatâs leaving aside the fact, that youâve paid the full price for the food, but got to eat only a part of the expected amount.Now try to convince me, that I have to buy a Dark SubstanceâąÂ fridge and a Dark Substanceâą knife. Âăășă«äŒăżăźăłăăæȘăć„ŽăŻă ăăăćéć-DM0isxqj3IE 00:00:33.567.jpg

@drq @davidrevoy > Making source code of a driver visible won't help you make a new device and infringe on patents or what not.Wrong. Drivers work closely with their hardware and may contain protocol details, the hardware descriptions or even parts of firmware which may give a hint to reverse engineers. The latter is especially sensitive in the modern age of SDH, when the firmware may *be* the hardware as such.
