i have a Mimas delivered to me a few days ago.

working well, no problem as listed above, except one: It isnt recognized by the OS. I thought I was the only one, but see there are many. I have Linux btw, MX.

Other than that, I like how it behaves. Pretty straight forward, I have all the options I need, I like how it spreads the pdf, "cropping" out the margins. Not much dpi resolution, but still works well.

Was wondering what you think about the dpi's and may suggest some other fonts?

And how a bout a good screen protector?

PS! I have no use for the pen so if anyone is interested in buying one...
I don't have Linux, but a USB C to USB A cord I bought from BestBuy fixed that issue for me and is worth a try if you have only been attempting to connect with the included cable.

I have been trying a bunch of fonts and haven't settled on favorites yet... but here are a few links that may help you find some you like:

About the screen protector... I haven't applied the one that came with the device because I wanted to test it first without. I am wondering if it is necessary and beneficial to use a screen protector. I didn't like it on my old Boyue ereader and ended up removing it, but that is not a note taking device.

Does anybody have any advice/opinions on the following two questions?

Is the glass on top of the screen likely to be scratched by normal use of the stylus over time?

Are the stylus nibs likely to last longer with or without a screen protector on the screen?
