Re: [ubuntu-studio-devel] DE testing: GNOME vs KDE
I do 2D and code-art as most of you know and I have discussed my current use of KDE before. Not going to go into the general DE discussion as my knowledge of gnome at this point is almost 2 years out of date. Just wanted to point out that, the lack of wacom interface is an issue we have noticed and discussed a couple of years ago, and had some plans for. Gnome is currently the only actively developed basic gui for wacom tablet as far as I know. The current solution for other DEs, and honestly, for any sort of additional customization (e.g. app specific settings to switch between) is via scripts using xsetwacom (unless something did get added to gnome on that front.) xsetwacom is relatively easy to use, but still is commandline at the end of the day and thus not friendly to non-technical users. One of the solutions to this especially since we discuss having multiple DEs is to have a GUI for wacom customization that would be a front to xsetwacom. Had some early notes on this here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/FeatureDefinitions/WacomScripts (which are now out of date). We were actually discussing integrating such an interface to ubuntustudio settings, on graphics tab. it could however also be stand-alone app, to make it more modular. I unfortunately don't have time to work on this, but if anyone is interested to work on it and think it worthwhile it is a way to go. There was also another project to bring gnome wacom settings to XFCE but looking over it seems to be abandoned.

[ubuntu-studio-devel] Agenda for 2018-05-12
Good day everyone! Progress Reports * New Website Theme * ubuntustudio-plasma * ubuntustudio-controls * ubunutstudio-welcome * Wallpapers I have nothing new to add. Mostly just a routine meeting just to report on progress; I expect it will be short. See you all at 19:00 UTC!
