just use linux instead.
why are people allergic to ~~windows~~ linux?
Uh I don't have time or wish to subject myself to the frustration that is Linux. I've tried it at least 5 times in the past 10 years and strongly prefer Windows.
Nowadays Windows is the frustrating crap, what kind of issue are you having?
My Wacom tablet doesn't work properly, neither does my Canon Pro 1000 printer. I've also had a few issues with my graphics drivers and games.
printers are admitedly a mixed bag, but your wacom tablet should just work.
tbf the troubleshooting shouldnt be harder than on windows, though, just adding it driverlessly.
It works, just not as well as it does in Windows. Mapping buttons and controls is a pain without the Wacom control panel.
i remember even seeing dedicated wacom control panels just for this purpose
Can I ask what roadblocks you hit?

Never heard of these before, it's always going to be a users individual experience with whatever hardware they have. I've had plenty of bad experiences but also plenty of good ones. One of my laptops a few years back occasionally has issues with sleep, where it would freeze on wake. The only issue that thing had. My desktop I built in 2019 has been flawless. Mind you, I have had the sleep wake freeze occasionally, but that's specifically because of the Nvidia graphics card. It sounds like if I were on the amd fence I'd have no problem. But I can even use the nvidia cuda cores in Davinci Resolve and that software works great.
