[Solved] XP-Pen drawing tablet on wayland (pawb.social)

I'm looking to buy a drawing tablet, specifically the XP-Pen Deco L to use with Krita. I'm running Fedora KDE with Wayland on my desktop and was wondering if anyone has experience using drawing tablets on Wayland, and if all works as it should. I checked the digi-mend driver and it supports this tablet and XP-Pen themselves publish a driver on their website, but from a quick search it seems to be X11 based.

Followup: The tablet arrived today and after plugging it in it got recognized and started working immediately! All buttons are mappable in Plasmas system settings, both on the pen and the tablet itself. This is with Fedora kernel 6.11.10-200.fc40.x86_64

Ah, ok, thanks! personally I've only ever had bad experiences with OTD, unfortunately, from it not recognising my tablet at all to me not being able to map the monitors or have the pointer under the pen etc. Hope it works well with your tablet!

Alright, I'll keep that in mind. I guess what I'll do is: see it works OOTB -> try digi-mend -> try OTD -> return tablet. Thank you for the insight ^^
