digimend-kernel-drivers VS xournalpp

- DIGImend and OpenTabletDriver look pretty similar in github activity(?)

I somehow can't watch any video on browser and discord after I try to install pen tablet driver DIGImend from source and I don't know what did I do wrong, I have try to restart pc / install some necessary package like ffmpeg / update driver / restart my wifi adapter and follow this solutions but none of them work and I don't want to reinstall my OS.

There is this project on GitHub (and their website) providing drivers for various graphics tablets on Linux. A while ago it helped me a ton with my 'Gaomon M106K' (which I believe is just a rebranded Huion tablet). Maybe you can get it yours working with this too.

I've never tried using it with a Pi, but the Digimend drivers work for my Huion tablet on Arch.

If your tablet isn't supported by the native drivers, you may try either the OpenTabletDriver or the DIGImend drivers.

I have a majestic piece of Chinese genius known as Ugee M708 aka XP-Pen Star 03 aka Parblo A610 aka UC-Logic TABLET 1060 aka, UC-LOIC 1060 (which is what it reports itself as) and it works fine, but requires Digimend drivers to be installed.

I highly recommend Rnote to anyone on Linux that misses the "hodgepodge" notetaking of apps like OneNote. It works like a dream on touchscreens and drawing tablets, with a surprising amount of configuration under the hood.

Also worth noting is Xournal, an older but similar project: https://xournalpp.github.io/

I've been using Xournalpp[1] for many years, highlighting books as I read them, adding in text/hand drawn annotations in whitespaces if necessary. Unlike other PDF readers/annotators, it saves a separate file, so the original PDF is untouched. It can also export the annotated PDF as a new PDF with highlights and annotations.

Obsidian[2] also has PDF support, where you can open a markdown document side by side with the PDF to take notes as you read. I think it also lets you highlight the PDF itself.

Emacs I think has a similar feature, via plugins/org-mode(?) to the Obsidian setup.

And of course your typical PDF reader probably has support for highlighting PDFs too, but I find them clunky and they save by exporting a PDF, which can be a bit heavy-handed IMO compared to just saving the annotations/highlights as a separate file as Xournalpp does.

Currently, I am trying to build a small open source NLP project for which I first find text on a page and then translate it; see the current project state here: https://github.com/PellelNitram/xournalpp_htr. The purpose of this project is to make handwritten text in Xournal++ searchable for all users.

[Xournal++](https://xournalpp.github.io/) is in my option the best handwritten note-taking software out there, because it has all the coolest features (like LaTeX snippets and shapes) and it's open source too, so make sure to check it out!
