I use Mint, and a drawing tablet.

I know this can be a problem with Huion tablets, since their drivers are closed source. I bought a Wacom tablet for this exact reason, their firmware is open-source, and so it’s bundled into Ubuntu’s software and all of its forks.

I’m sorry that there isn’t more I can tell you. I could only afford to buy a high quality drawing tablet once, so I wanted to make sure the firmware was compatible with Linux. If you get very frustrated, you can likely find a secondhand Wacom on eBay.

Absolutely not.

Back when DivestOS was operational, they maintained a database of bugs, flaws, and security holes that the E Foundation and Murena refused to patch.

• MicroG isn’t a secure front-end, it still phones home to Google.
• Their native IP scrambler is just an old fork of TOR
• Their webview (the core of every phone’s ability to run a web application from Lemmy to Fruit Ninja) doesn’t have hardened measures to prevent interference.
• The bootloader stays unlocked. This means that the most essential feature for your safety, the metaphorical lock on the front door of your house, is left broken and loose.

Hell no, do not use /e/os. Use Lineage. Use Grapheme. Use Linux Mobile. Use literally anything else.
