Since I spend a fair amount of time complaining about the OS I
love, I figure it's only fair to point out success when it
happens unexpectedly.

I gave my son a Monoprice 10x6.5" drawing tablet today. It's
relatively cheap - about $50.

He plugged it in to his Jessie PC and to our mutual surprise, it
worked immediately. I told him to fire up GIMP and he is
figuring it out now.

This happens quite often in my experience.  I find Debian quite good at Plug 
and Play. :-)

Great to hear! Check out MyPaint, it's great with a tablet!
