Linux-compatible drawing tablets

260 drawing tablets have Linux support beyond basic input, ranked here by how many extra features work on Linux. Every entry links to its own page with the distro-by-distro table and what to install.

How to read this. We rank by the number of features that Linux drivers and tools support for each model, not by hardware quality: we don't test devices ourselves, and basic input works through generic drivers anyway. Treat the list as "what you can configure on Linux", then pick on the hardware itself.
