From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Got myself bootable usb with linux mint on cinnamon.
On Thinkpad X230T pen works with pressure sensor and palm rejection. In tablet settings system says it's Wacom ISDv4 E6
On X1 yoga Gen.1 it works out of the box too with palm rejection and pressure sensor. System did not detected niether pen nor tablet in tablet settings. Wierd.
EDIT: running xsetwacom --list in terminal on X1 shows stylus, ereaser and finger touch
What does palm rejection mean?
Intended to prevent accidental input from the side of your palm, when it's resting on the screen, while using the stylus.
Ah of course. Makes sense.
