I use Strawberry for mine.

Yo dawg, I heard you like emulating, so I put an emulator in your emulator so you can emulate while you emulate.

If you mean like older Megami Tensei games or Etrian Odyssey, then I can handle those. If you mean something more like Skyrim, then that’s a no.

Are you referring to a drawing tablet? If so, then a good number of ones from the better known brands are supported by the kernel by default. Your safest bet though is Wacom. Wacom is definitely the best supported brand, but it tends to be more expensive than other brands (such as XP-pen and Huion). Non-Wacom branded tablets may require a little bit more initial configuration, like adding a udev rule (I had to do that for my Huion Inspiroy Ink).

Qmmp can use them too.
