Hello! I have a 2in1 reversible tablet with touchscreen and stylus, running fedora. My laptop runs EndeavourOS. both with wayland session.
I'd like to use my tablet as input method, in order to use the stylus on my laptop. I tried Weylus, and it is great for screen mirroring and casual clicks, but using the stylus (perhaps it's my wifi's fault) was way too laggy, almost unusable. Are there other tools, similar to this, that perhaps work with a usb cable or something like this? in order to speed things up. My tablet is very potato-ish, very slow at running apps and so, but once the apps are loaded they works fluently. both the laptop and the tablet runs KDE.

thanks in advance!

You could still be able to use it wired, I do it with my Android tablet via USB, following the instructions in the repo: https://github.com/H-M-H/Weylus/issues/71

Maybe the same could be done via Ethernet for you? Since it's a Linux device instead
