## Description

Turn your Android tablet into a professional drawing tablet for your Linux PC.<br>Drawing Tablet wirelessly connects your Android tablet to your Linux desktop, streaming your screen to the tablet and sending stylus input back to your PC — creating a seamless, Wacom Cintiq-like drawing experience over your local WiFi network.<br>Key Features:<br>- Full Pen Support — 65,535 levels of pressure sensitivity, tilt detection, hover distance, and stylus button support for a natural drawing experience in apps like Krita, GIMP, Inkscape, and more.<br>- Low-Latency Screen Streaming — Hardware-accelerated H.264 video encoding (NVENC, VA-API, or CPU fallback) streams your desktop to your tablet in real time over UDP.<br>- Multi-Touch Gestures — Use two or more fingers to pan, zoom, and rotate your canvas. Intelligent palm rejection automatically suppresses accidental touch input while the pen is in use.<br>- Automatic Server Discovery — Find your PC instantly on your local network via mDNS (Avahi). No manual IP configuration required. Optionally save your server for one-tap auto-connect.<br>- Wayland Native — Built from the ground up for modern Linux desktops using PipeWire screen capture and XDG Desktop Portal for secure, user-approved screen sharing.<br>- Anti-Jitter Input Retiming — A built-in event retimer buffers and re-emits stylus events based on their original timestamps, eliminating network jitter that causes line spikes in drawing applications.<br>- Immersive Drawing Mode — Full-screen, landscape-locked display with screen always on, so nothing interrupts your creative flow.<br>How It Works:<br>1. Install the Drawing Tablet server on your Linux PC (available as an Arch Linux package or build from source).<br>2. Launch the server — it will publish itself on your network automatically.<br>3. Open Drawing Tablet on your Android tablet, find your server, and connect.<br>4. Your PC screen appears on your tablet. Pick up your stylus and start drawing!<br>Requirements:<br>- Android 13 (API 33) or higher<br>- A stylus-capable Android tablet (for pen input)<br>- A Linux PC running Wayland with PipeWire<br>- Both devices on the same local network<br>Privacy:<br>Drawing Tablet collects zero personal data. All communication stays entirely on your local network. No analytics, no tracking, no cloud services.<br>Open Source:<br>Drawing Tablet is free and open source under the MIT license.
