So I am kinda new in this Forum, but it is the only way I can ask about a certain thing about Krita and if it can run on an XP-Pen product that I am soon going to buy. (So sorry in case this kind of question has been asked already many times in previous times, but I need to know.)
The one tablet I am going to get is the Artist 22, and I have seen a couple of people saying that Krita doesn't react to the pen and the pressure sensitivity, and I am quite concerned about it. Before I buy the tablet I wanted to ask if there is something I can do, like softwares that can help with Krita recognizing the pen, because I really do love this art program and I really do not want to loose my chances in using it. It does run good on my PC, that has Windows 10. I was just wondering if there was something I could do, since I visited this site https://docs.krita.org/List_of_Tablets_Supported as well, which worried me a lot because it says that Krita is "Reported to be broken" on the Artist 22.
I hope to get a reply soon, I hope for the best.
Thanks in advance!

Do NOT get an xp-pen. The only tablets worse are the ones made by Bosto, Trust or, especially, Genius. XP-Pen makes awful hardware coupled with horrible drivers. Their products are abominations unto Nuggan.

In the first place, Wacom, then as runners-up, Huion (right-click won't work) and Yiynova (have to be careful about driver versions.)

I have found a Huion GT-190S available on Amazon, but does its pen have pressure sensibility?

Hi... just came to say that I have an XP Pen Artist 16, and Krita is working great with the tablet. The flaws I have had so far are the same as always (I'm using Krita for MacOs Sierra)... those flaws are not related to the tablet.

If you can afford the Huion GT-190S ............

You could also get a Wacom Pro for a little less. Mine works great.

I probably could have gone with the small but went with the medium, takes up alot of area.
