wacom tablet
I'm actually contemplating getting a non-wacom tablet in the near future, so I took it as a positive if I could keep OTD for now, and not need to reinstall it later.
That said, the easiest solution would have been to not install OTD in the first place with the easy-install thing (sorry, forgot the name, the complementary suggested software after bazzite install) - But when I saw it, I took it as it sounded useful, because I didn't know yet if/how tablets worked out of the box without it. I'm actually surprised it would have.
I didn't expect it to cause massive issues when both the OTD driver and the Wacom driver are present. I'm used to Linux lacking drivers, not having too many of them 😅

wacom tablet
I had the exact same issue, here's how I solved it on my side (I have a wacom M/CTL-672). Based on another post here and the OTD docs. My solution was to keep OTD, but remove the wacom driver.
1. Open BoxBuddy, you should have an "arch" distrobox with OpenTabletDriver running on it. Open the Arch terminal.
2. On the arch terminal, do
systemctl --user enable opentabletdriver.service [not sure if it's 100% necessary, but I did it, so who knows.]
3. Go back to your normal bazzite terminal, and do: sudo rmmod wacom hid_uclogic - it did tell me that "hid_uclogic wasn't loaded". But it did unload the wacom driver, at least. I assume sudo rmmod wacom would have been enough for me, but maybe some else would also need to remove hid.
And that's it. Then I played around with the settings between OpenTabletDriver itself and the system controls to make sure it worked on the correct screen area, as I have two screens. (One is set as "full" the other as Screen XYZ only)
