From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

In my limited experience Wacom pens don’t work with anything but Wacom tablets… I don’t own one of the “new” fancy ones with a screen, but capacitive (most new touch screens) don’t seem to detect the Wacom pen. There are pens out there that are supposed to work with any capacitive screen, but I don’t think they provide the force/angle information that the Wacom pen does.
Yes, it's totally expected! But looks like this screen supports MPP pens.
the wacom pens on wacom tablets are solid but plenty of other pens support force/angle and those do work with the starlite.
You should probably help out the OP by mentioning a few by name ;-)
any mpp pen should support pressure. mpp 2.0 will have tilt and such. personally I have a lenovo precision 2.
Cool. I wasn’t aware that tilt was coming in the next version :-)
uh no, mpp 2.0 is the pen protocol. tilt was supported day 1.
Now I’m confused again… the specific Lenovo pen you got supported tilt? You mentioned mmp 2.0 was coming, or something to that effect, that was the next version I was referring to.
the pen I bought supports tilt. The one starlabs sells does not.
MPP is the protocol and has different versions like how Bluetooth or WiFi do. MPP 2.0 has existed for a while it isn't new.
Thank you for taking the time to clarify all that.
Tilt is really critical for a good drawing and especially painting experience.
