I was finally motivated to pick up one of these devices after reading David's review.
Just got it working under Alpine Linux - the default driver stuff works as referenced on his website. I'll need to dig into this further to see what customization I want.
The device itself has a great feel, has a feeling of quality. I got a boring black one and it coordinates with my cheap and cheerful keyboard I mentioned the other week. Ha.
Anyway, never had one of these drawing devices before - learning curve inbound I expect.

@RootMoose@mastodon.bsd.cafe Thank you for the feedback! Yes, there is a learning curve; and it's hard at first to draw with the backlight (reducing brightness helps a bit, esp. on white background) and also there is still a little distance, or thickness between the tip of stylus and the real pixels. Same about the pressure sensitivity of the tip: it takes a bit of time to manage it. But with a bit of practice, it can quickly become a comfortable media. I hope your install on Alpine will get you the most of it!
