Is there an Inkscape user who has and uses a drawing tablet device available to test some fixes for 1.5?

What we need is some testing on the smoothness of the drawing, it *should* be better than 1.4 and hopefully not break.

Downloads are here: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7427 to get them you click on the green checkmark and click your OS, and download the AppImage, 7z (windows) or dmg.

Just in time, the #EUCommission has opened a public consultation on the revision of the #DMA effectiveness, with a deadline for Sept 24.

It's a great occasion to propose actual adjustments to the DMA text, like some to tackle the pre-install advantage, the systematic blocks of #Google Play Protect/Play Integrity, etc.

We believe we can achieve stronger impact if the Commission receives this kind of suggestions from many fronts, and not just from #FDroid.

Fix DMA here: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/Consultation_Review_DMA

It's money well spent
