Are we willing to stand a restricted proprietary policy? I'm willing to pay for the software that provides the wanted usability. I would do this for FLOSS software, too. Unfortunately I need to pay for restricted proprietary solutions, since FLOSS is decades behind restricted proprietary software in the domain that is most important to me (music production). Regarding images FLOSS as well as restricted proprietary software has got it's pro and cons. FLOSS isn't that bad in that domain. I prefer a restricted proprietary solution over FLOSS regarding the hardware. Using a 12.9-inch iPad Pro with an Apple pencil 2 and even cheap software, you/I only need to pay just one time, instead of paying a high monthly rent, works out of the box. I wonder if a graphic tablet compatible with FreeBSD and/or Linux, with an integrated monitor and a usable pencil works with reasonable latency OOTB and at the same time is not more expensive, than an iPad Pro. If so, I never heard of it.
