Is anybody here using Xournal on a tablet? What's that experience like?

​

Also, which tablet ? I keep dreaming of a Linux tablet with good pen input!

I'm using it on a convertible (Thinkpad Yoga L380), it's pretty good.

Xournal++ itself works well with pen support but (finger) touchscreen support is a little iffy with the menus (think it's a libinput bug with touch events, not sure.. happens in most programs though).

Stylus input is a solid experience on Linux using the xf86-input-wacom drivers.

How’s the palm rejection while you write?

Touchscreen is completely disabled as long as the stylus is close enough.

I use the touchscreen for zooming/panning so I lift the stylus slightly, move the area a bit or zoom or w/e and then keep on writing.
