There is a distinction between virtual machines and system containers. Those system containers are like "software VMs". Lightweight, and in the vast majority of cases they cover your needs compared to VMs.
The DIGImend project aims at improving Linux support for generic graphics tablets. We work to provide kernel drivers, kernel and userspace driver fixes, accompanying development, testing and end-user tools, documentation and HOWTOs.
Generic graphics tablets include ones designed and sold by Huion, KYE, UC-Logic and Waltop, rebranded and sold by Aiptek, Genius, Monoprice, Princeton, Trust, and many others.
Essentially, any USB-connected tablets not produced by Wacom. For the latter see The Linux Wacom Project.
With Incus you get the biggest range of images, https://images.linuxcontainers.org/
Most Incus system container images are also available as VM images.
