Yeah, when Fall Creators Update came out for Windows 10, it crippled styluses down to an 11th touch input --- I very nearly returned my then-new Samsung Galaxy Book 12 --- rolled back, and stayed on the previous version for _years_.

Currently using a Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 --- have to keep the Settings app in the Task bar so I can toggle stylus behaviour depending on which app I run, and use Firefox w/ a specific setting to enable text selection/disable stylus scrolling (scrolling w/ touch feels far more natural).

I'm about at the point where I'm going to make a Cyberdeck using an rPi 5 and Wacom Movink or Wacom One display....



There was an unreal lack of awareness when the Windows Ink team engaged Reddit on this issue -- talking about "legacy" apps when such apps included the latest release version of Photoshop.


Yeah, it was quite disheartening.

I really wish Apple would go ahead and make a replacement for my Newton MessagePad....

As it is, rPi cyberdeck seems the best option --- waiting on a Soulcircuit Pilet from Kickstarter, and am considering swapping an rPi 5 into my Raspad v3 tablet shell for the nonce.
