Fedora 36 : Inkscape 1.2 with Huion WH 1409 graphic tablet.

In this tutorial I will show you how to install and use the Huion WH 1409 graphics tablet with the new release of Inkscape 1.2 software.
You will need to use the DKMS feature of the kernel and the tablet-specific drivers.
Let's start with the following command to get the driver and show the files:
[root@fedora mythcat]# git clone https://github.com/DIGImend/digimend-kernel-drivers.git

[root@fedora mythcat]# cd digimend-kernel-drivers/
[root@fedora digimend-kernel-drivers]# dir
compat.h    dracut.conf        hid-uclogic-params.c  README.md
COPYING        hid-ids.h        hid-uclogic-params.h  udev.rules
debian        hid-kye.c        hid-uclogic-rdesc.c   usbhid
depmod.conf    hid-polostar.c        hid-uclogic-rdesc.h   xorg.conf
digimend-debug    hid-rebind        hid-viewsonic.c
dkms.conf    hid-uclogic-core.c  Makefile
Let's create it using the command
[root@fedora digimend-kernel-drivers]# make dkms_install
...

dkms add .
Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/digimend/11/source -> /usr/src/digimend-11
dkms build digimend/11

Building module:
cleaning build area...
make -j1 KERNELRELEASE=5.17.9-300.fc36.x86_64 KVERSION=5.17.9-300.fc36.x86_64...
...
Let's check and reboot.
[root@fedora digimend-kernel-drivers]# dkms status
digimend/11, 5.17.9-300.fc36.x86_64, x86_64: installed (original_module exists)
[root@fedora digimend-kernel-drivers]# reboot
After rebooting the diver must be activated and you will see that Linux responds to the movement of the tablet pen.
[root@fedora mythcat]# modprobe -r hid-kye hid-uclogic hid-viewsonic
Install the latest version of inkscape 1.2 using the DNF utility.
Start the inkscape software:
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ inkscape
static bool Inkscape::UI::Dialog::DialogContainer::recreate_dialogs_from_state(InkscapeWindow*, const Glib::KeyFile*): Key
file does not have group “Windows”
Gdk-Message: 15:09:10.534: Error flushing display: Broken pipe
It seems that inkscape does not detect and set the tablet if you use the settings of this software, but you can use the tablet with this software even if you do not set it.

Fedora 29 : Install Inkscape with Flatpak Linux tool.

Today I used the Flatpak Linux tool to install the last version of Inkscape 0.92.4 5da689c313 released at 2019-01-14.
Flatpak (formerly xdg-app) is a software utility for software deployment, package management, and application virtualization for Linux desktop computers. It provides a sandbox environment in which users can run applications in isolation from the rest of the system. see Wikipedia Flatpak.
The Flatpak tool is installed by default on Fedora Workstation. To install and runt the last version of Inkscape you need to use these commands:
[mythcat@desk Downloads]$ flatpak install org.inkscape.Inkscape.flatpakref

org.inkscape.Inkscape permissions:
    ipc     x11    file access [1]

    [1] host


        ID                                    Arch   Branch Remote  Download

Installation complete.

[mythcat@desk Downloads]$ flatpak run org.inkscape.Inkscape

The Inkscape drawing tool works well.

I used Inkscape. You know about Inkscape:Inkscape is professional quality vector graphics software which runs on Windows, Mac OS X and GNU/Linux and uses the W3C open standard SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) as its native format.
First I take a take a look to the common guidelines. 
This steps help you to understand the importance of guideline if you want to make new different designs.
The .svg result files can be found here.

GIF file animated with open-source software.

I tested the Blender 3D version 2.76 with Inkscape and Synfig to make this GIF animated.
This is the result :

I used the default cube from Blender 3D to make a SVG image. 
Also I working with Synfig software to create this GIF. 
I will make one good tutorial about this GIF. 
I hope this will help you to find new ways to deal with the open-source software.
