We've got a wacom tablet at our fablab, so I played with it under Mageia :-)

=== Wacom tablet under Mageia Linux ===
== model: CTE-630BT ==
alimentation: 6V dc / 550 mA
how old is it? 2007?

using bluetooth, with a pen, a mouse, two buttons and approximately 20 cm x 15 cm

documentation: https://www.wacom.com/-/media/wacomdotcom/files/store-manuals/legacy-models/graphire-bluetooth-manual.pdf
~- 2005
~- only bluetooth (no usb)

Technical details: which linux command to launch?
Have a look at ##xsetwacom##

use ##libwacom-list-local-devices## and ##evtest##

resolution: 16704x12064

Battery is empty, can be seen with ##inxi -Ba##

== model ET-0405-U ==
USB connection, furnished with a pen with two buttons

documentation: https://www.wacom.com/en-us/support/product-support/drivers?driver-search=et-0405-u
~- 2000
~- only USB
~- missing mouse?

=== Using tablet with KDE (Plasma X11) ===
The interface for calibration seems more precise, works directly.

=== Using the tablet under wayland ===
The cursor is working, even when the pen is not touching the surface.
I can resize windows and click options (or double click).

I tried gimp & xournal: nothing appears, though I choose the right tool to draw or write :/

=== Does it work better under Xorg? ===
