I have a wacom tablet. Just plugged it and started using. I have some colleagues who don't use linux. They have had bad experiences. I even saw an article or two on HN about wacom drivers phoning home.

If you aren't locked by proprietary software and wants to use a wacom tablet, I strongly recommend using linux.

I use my Wacom in similar fashion: plug and play. Actually, this is my experience with printers and scanners as well. A huge difference with how I remember Windows, but then again things may have changed there as well. I mainly use it to sign paperwork :)

Props to the use of Krita in their imagery!

my Wacom drawing pad was a bit of a headache for finding drivers on windows. It makes me happy to hear they're improving that, becuase the tools are great.

On Windows, consumer HP is also 'plug and play' as in 'Windows downloads and installs a HP UWP app for you that tries to sell you instant ink and happens to also install your scanner driver'
