I know this is the classic eye-roll question, but is support planned for linux/desktop devices? I imagine the future android app could be used via waydroid but seeing how VLC could bridge the gap, perhaps?


I’m not sure I understand your question. Blender is already available on Desktop Linux.

Are you looking to use Blender on a small touch screen backed by desktop Linux?


I have a small touchscreen linux device I use to view HN via 4g, it is a umpc laptop from donki called the nanote next, using the giant blender interface would be greatly enriched on that tiny device if I were to use an android experience.


In theory yes, you should be able to use this new simplified interface. It may require compiling blender yourself perhaps


I'll see what I can cook up... let's hope it could be enabled with a flag and doesn't require some inaccessible system apis


I will note that a Wacom One gen 1 screen/graphics tablet worked perfectly on a Raspberry Pi 4 when I tested it ages ago:

Looking into using the new gen 2 w/ touch on an rPi 5.


The Wacom kernel drivers are so nice, especially with the neat little interface GNOME has in the settings. I got a secondhand Wacom tablet from 2002 at a garage sale that serves it's duty signing PDFs and sculpting in Blender on those rare occasions where it's needed.

Makes me wonder if anyone's playing osu! on their Steam Decks...
