Hey, can anyone reccomend a drawing tablet? I do not need the display to be where I draw. I'm trying to look around but a lot of them seem to be from Chinese companies with drivers that include spyware.
By just works, I mean doesn't have a lot of issues with the drawing or connectivity itself.
Boosts appreciated. Maybe if this post reaches Mastodon.Art somehow I might get some answers
It also doesnt even have to have a large drawing space. It would be nice if it's not made to eat money though (e.g. cheapest Wacom right now eats the pen nib so fast, people are forced to buy new nibs or get a new tablet)
Gonna try this again with the #askfedi tag
(Tldr Can you recommend a graphics/drawing tablet with no spyware in the driver? Basically not made by a company based in China at least.)

@kambing # askifedi maybe, delete + redraft
@kambing Boosted to help awareness of your question.
My guess is you would have to settle for either flashing software or find an open hardware solution.
@Zach777 thank you!
@kambing
Most Wacom Tablets should work under Linux without any driver which didn't came with Linux.

@unixwitch oh thank you so much! Thats awesome!
@kambing
And Wacom seems to be also supported on FreeBSD:

@unixwitch 😲 I didn't expect that! That's a really pleasant surprise. Thank you for letting me know about this!
@kambing I'm happy with my Surface Go 2. 
@albi i didnt even know about this tablet thank you for the suggestion 😁
I dont necessarily need a bunch of buttons/shortcuts either. I just want something that won't break easily and just works and isn't spyware
