As a person who really wanted the Sharp Mobilon TriPad PV-6000, this sort of thing makes me sad for what might have been.

I almost returned my Samsung Galaxy Book 12 to Best Buy back when the stylus was crippled to scrolling by Fall Creator's Update --- even now, I constantly have to toggle its compatibility state in Windows 11 to use it with different programs.

That said, my next tech purchase is a Raspberry Pi 5 and a Wacom One 13 w/ Touch --- hopefully it will work as well as the first gen. unit did w/ an rPi 4 and I can get off this software treadmill and just focus on using the machine as opposed to re-learning whatever UI update MS is inflicting this quarter.

hmmm, Surface works fine with Linux here, so that might be a sleeker alternative.

Yes, for folks who can stand NTrig, that works --- Wacom EMR or bust here.

Why would you prefer one over the other?

[WillAdams]

Hover distance is the big thing for me, and I mislike jitter when drawing slowly in NTrig, and I need more batteries to charge/manage like I need a hole in my head.

I have:

- Galaxy Note 10+

- Kindle Scribe

- Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360

- Wacom One

plus two spare styluses in my EDC bag, two more spares at the coffee table in the living room, and 3 more in a box on a shelf --- that they don't have batteries/capacitors and "just work" when I need them is an aspect of my life which I rely on.

I really wish my wife wouldn't have given her mom the surface I bought for her. I was really curious how well Linux would work on it while she had it for school.
