I do have 500$ to spend but I doubt it would give me the entertainment I expect to have by spending that amount of money

I try to aim at the sub 80$ price range

also sub 60$ but that's a soft cap

@hale actually has a Ugee drawing tablet+screen

yeah what I said first was in response to that, I looked it up

I've seen like 10 different large graphics tablets in the 35-45$ price range and I'm wondering if the models offered actually differ that significantly?
like, can I go wrong by buying a certain brand?

also, how well do the tablets work on linux?
will I have to get a windows vm?

most brands probably dont have drivers so I'm wondering if maybe the basic functionality works without drivers

Ugee and Huion are the better brands

and yeah you're probably going to need Windows for it

unless you prefer drawing in Gimp or something

krita probably?

sub 50 is quite a tight territory, i'd buckle up some bucks and get a Deco 01 or M708, depending on your preference. If you wanna go full authentic weeb, you may also get a wacom bamboo at 80bucks.

most huion tablets are reported working and most ugee ones are unkown, a few not working @Tribit

@Sdeck37 what about those two differenciates them from the rest of the market tho

I want to understand the world of graphics tablets

@Millie nothing really, they're both just in a good price/perf position

3pieces or more

3 pieces?

nvm, i'm a dum dum

m708 is reported to be broken in krita

Broken?

I thought UGEE was a good brand

could you be thinking of ugreen instead?

@Deleted User it is but open source software a shit

can't expect them to have optimisation for every tablet out there

True

But it would be alright for some casual photoshop drawing I suppose?

yes

they're great for drawing in photoshop and sai

UGEE and Huion are the main chink brands

Thanks, it will make a nice gift

broken as in not working with krita

I still propose a shitty 128gb ssd with windows, running PS and Sai there and saving psds and such to your NAS.
Krita is still too new to cover it all.

hey would shitty o rings from ali help dampen my shitty mechanical keyboard (red switches) because I gotta record things for school and you can't hear anything but my fucking keyboard
