WacomOne

External Wacom One tablet on linux

The WacomOne tablet is well supported on modern Linux distributions, it should be supported in ubuntu 20.04 and probably also ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Some things you may run into though...

Stylus mapping doesn't match the wacom one screen

This is probably trivial to someone who knows how X11 works, but for users it can be a bit tricky to figure out.

The information below is probably old and has now been integrated in the plasma system settings, if you go to System Settings -> Input Devices -> Graphic Tablet Go to the "tablet" tab and select the button "Map tablet area to screen". In the upper left of the pop-up window, you can toggle which screen the tablet area is mapped to.
