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.

I searching for a tablet for drawing and discovered this one. Anyone tried drawing on it? I wondering if the experience is good.

On the page they doesn't mention if the screen supports drawing pens, but it's possible to order an MPP pen with it, so I assume that it works with Wacom or Surface 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.
