Using your Android tablet or iPad as a remote graphics tablet for your Laptop or PC

I spent a large part of the day trying to find some way to use my Samsung tablet as a graphics tablet on my Laptop. Why? Because I have my laptop hooked to my TV and thought it would be cool to draw on a bigger screen. It’s wasn’t absolutely necessary. It is nice though.

After looking at several options and reading the docs. I found Weylus Community Edition. I thought KDE Connect would work, but for some reason the option wouldn’t work for me.

Oh yeah. I’m using

Operating System and GPU: Linux Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon 64-bit-AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics × 8

Graphic Tablet: Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite

If you are someone looking for a similar solution. I hope it works for you. They have a Mac, Windows and linux version on their GitHub.
