    It depends.

    You can basically always use the crappy ones made for general touchscreens to replicate your finger. You can’t use a real one with features like Apple Pencil/surface pen/wacom without an extra layer built into the screen to recognize them.

      FWIW, my daily driver is a Lenovo Yoga with Ubuntu and the active pen works just fine with that. That support is definitely there.

        Sure, because the Yoga has the extra screen layer to support active pens. Linux isn’t the problem.

      I sent an email a few days ago when I read this just to check, looks like they do support pens
