People on other sites often are like "Mastodon is where all the tech nerds and their Linuxes are" so I figure I should ask this here: if you're an artist that uses Linux Mint what graphic tablet (you know like Wacom and stuff) do you use?
I have looked into it and the art programs I currently use are compatible so that's fine so the last remaining question would be if my ancient tablet doesn't work it is what tablet could I use instead.
Much like my tablet my computer is old as shit so it can't be upgraded to Windows 11 even if I wanted that shitty fucking OS. So yeah regardless if my computer dies in the next year or not I'm most likely going to have to switch to Linux either way.

@FamiliarAlien I have a really basic small wacom, an old one from about 8 years ago. Don't remember the model, but it works perfectly on Linux Mint. Plug and play with krita.
@FamiliarAlien I have an old Wacom Intuos and it works without any problems on my linux machines.
multi-display setup can be a bit annoying, depending on the desktop environment. But I think gnome and kde have display-mapping tools
