I have the medium Wacom. I think the small size would be uncomfortable. When I was a prof, I used the Wacom on linux with OpenBoard [1] to teach online for two years of the pandemic. My work gave me a Macbooks, but OpenBoard has some weird bugs on MacOS. So I am using GoodNotes, which is very annoying, but the best of what I tried. In another life, I would dedicate a few years of my life writing a decent note taking app. [1] https://github.com/OpenBoard-org/OpenBoard Edit: Besides the software, I think it takes a few weeks of writing on it daily where it becomes natural.
