Stylus Noob
Stylus Noob
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.

For the love of god stop forcing people into Linux.
What if dad asked for linux?
When he heard of an alternative to Windows he jumped on it as he's unhappy with Windows, like so many are.
People are sick and tired of Windows, subscriptions everywhere, and many other poor trends in life so you don't really have to force people anywhere. They are unhappy but don't know alternatives exist so when they hear about them many people are excited for change.
I just think that some people in this community are a little to be evangelical for me. Maybe I'm just old but it seems like throwing him to something as new as Fedora immutable is a bit extreme. You could simply install Linux Mint or Windows 10.
I also don't think people care much about computers but they do listen to what you have to say. Be careful taking about how great Linux is because people who are less tech savvy may take anything you say as hard fact.
I've been using Mint on one of my computers for a few years and recently got into Fedora KDE. I find Fedora KDE to be much more modern than Mint so people get a good first impression of Linux. KDE also is just as familiar as Mint for Windows users in my opinion. I also find the atomic Kinoite to simply just work and the fact that it's much more difficult to screw up I think is a plus for normal PC users.
