Description

Linux:

  • Native:
    • GIMP (#59)
    • Krita (works out of the box, at least on Wayland)
  • WINE:
    • Photoshop
    • Krita (Does not work, no known workarounds, see link)
  • more?

Windows:

  • Photoshop
  • GIMP
  • Krita
  • more?

MacOS:

  • more?

For Windows, this involves changing the program to use the Windows Ink API.
On Linux, this usually always just works when in artist mode, but e.g. GIMP needs some help (especially on Wayland).

The articles should (mostly) assume the user already has working pressure elsewhere, ie. Windows Ink or Artist Mode is already set up. An example can be seen in #59

Research direction

Start with the example in issue #59 and review the linked discussion for the expected app-specific FAQ approach. Use the checklist in this issue to identify the Windows, Linux/WINE, and macOS program coverage, then define the articles' scope and platform-specific setup guidance. Done means the agreed common artist programs have usable FAQ articles.
