You can either create a Linux/Windows dual boot or you can completely erase Windows and replace it with Linux. It is up to you how you would install Linux on the machine. It is also a very Linux friendly machine so most things will work after installing it. I chose the HP Spectre x360 because it is a laptop/tablet convertible that comes with a pen so you can use it to draw like you would on a Wacom Cintiq. I highly recommend installing version 18.2 or higher because it will recognise all the hardware components on your machine straight away. I chose Linux Mint because it is very easy to install and provides a very complete out of the box experience after installing it. HP Active Pen included (N-Trig technology like the Microsoft Surface Pen) Linux Mint 18.2 XFCE 64-bit (installed later on the machine) Windows 10 64-bit (originally installed on the machine) However, the Linux community is very resourceful and if there is a will, there is a wayīelow are the software and hardware details that I have used for this guide: My only complaint about it is that I cannot install it natively on my favourite operating system Linux ! I will start by saying that I love Clip Studio Paint and I think it is THE most advanced drawing software out there so I am grateful for all the great work done by the CELSYS development team.

This is a guide I decided to write and share with anyone who wishes to do the same as I did.
