The new USB-C Apple Pencil supports hover with the iPad Pro and can attach magnetically — but at $79, it’s cheaper than the $129 second-gen Pencil.
The cheaper price means that the Pencil doesn’t come with some of the more advanced features as the first- and second-generation accessories. The device doesn’t support pressure sensitivity, wireless pairing and charging, or the double-tap feature that lets you switch between tools. However, it still supports hover with M2 models of the iPad Pro.
The lower price is nice, but zero pressure sensitivity is a big question mark IMO. You’d expect something at this price to have at least a few levels of sensitivity.
while that’s totally valid of course that kind of has nothing to do with iPads and their stylus’ does it? Lol
But Wacom makes some great stuff. I have a buddy who uses a Wacom tablet for digital art. He uses windows. Any Linux quirks or does Wacom “just work” with Linux installs?
Pretty sure it just works. GNOME actually has a specific page in the settings for Wacom tablets.
I'm pretty sure wacom drivers are just in the linux kernel, and also my XP pen tablet worked out of the box also. I haven't noticed any weird problems.
I was just thinking out loud I guess. It kind of contributes to the conversation because I know wacom tablets have pens included and not sold separately. Also, I don’t recall them being so expensive like apple pens if you buy them separately.
