Mint Cinnamon, same as you I believe? Though I've been too busy to update from 20.2 so probably a bit behind on that front. ^^
Looking it up just now, it seems like the tablet should work by just plugging it in since apparently modern distros come pre-packaged with wacom support. If not, linuxwacom has instructions on how to install the drivers manually. I thought I had to install mine manually, but it's been a while so I may be misremembering.
TIL what screentones are, or at least, that they're called something besides "the cool pattern thing from manga" lol. It does seem like you have a point about CSP being better with them than Krita, based on the few videos I've watched. There's tutorials on how to make CSP work for Linux, but they seem to only work up to ~1.10, so if you want a later version, you do need Windows. You can use a virtual machine for that, but it's kind of frustrating to do so IME, so maybe dual booting would be your best bet. Or just using a different machine for it entirely, which is what I do!
But um, yeah, welcome to the club. ^w^ We have a disproportionate amount of animal mascots. Sometimes it can get frustrating trying to sort through old dependencies, but by god is it worth it to not have to deal with Microsoft's bullshit.
