I setup a Dell Inspiron 2-in-1 for my Dad with Fedora 40 Kinoite. He wants a basic stylus but I don’t know anything about them. All the info I can find on the product page is saying that you can use an “active pen.” What am I looking for in a stylus to let me know if it’ll work? The Dell and Wacom stylus’ say they’re for Windows. Do these stylus’ need software to work and thus be stuck only working on Windows? Do they actually work on a firmware level? If you know of any that work I’m down for suggestions too.
What do you mean by “crazy Bluetooth thing”? Are you saying to avoid a stylus that only connects via Bluetooth? I wasn’t able to find the screen’s touch protocol even when checking Dell’s owners manual. I guess I’ll have to contact their support. I was able to find various stylus protocols however such as Wacom AES 1&2, WGP, in-cell panel support, and Microsoft Pen Protocol.
Crazy meaning some unknown protocol they call their own. If it’s a well-known protocol, it’s supported on Linux.
