I need to aggregate a lot of details on what I’ve tried so far, but I figured I’d make this post now since I have time over lunch.

I purchased a used Thinkpad Yoga X1 gen 6 from a university surplus sale. Intending to move away from the data hoarder that is Microsoft I of course installed Linux. I decided on Linux Mint since I haven’t touched Linux in about a decade and I’ve forgotten everything.

Everything that I need to use correctly for job applications, printing, etc is working just fine, but much of the reason I bought the yoga is to use the Wacom stylus pen for drawing and taking notes.

It was working in Windows, but now does not seem to be recognized in Linux. It’s odd since the touchscreen does work.

I did find this post which I will try to follow tonight: https://www.reddit.com/r/LinuxOnThinkpad/comments/yvmr1s/how_to_get_your_wacom_pen_working_on_a_thinkpad/

If anyone has had experience with this or has some advice for a new newbie, I’d very much appreciate it!
