Previously on 20.04 stylus input with Wacom integrated display (not a pad or separate device) worked great.
Currently on 20.10 any stylus input including near hover without physically touching will instantly freeze/lockup the OS forcing hard reboot/power off/on to recover.
Kernel might (?) be confusing touch input with stylus input in the same moment as described here (???): https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/touching-wacom-tablet-crashes-linux-4175571470/.
Device is HP Envy Note 8 using official HP Stylus, Ubuntu Mate 20.10.
