OpenTabletDriver/OpenTabletDriver#3496 was approved, making Artist Mode the default on Linux, and as such OpenTabletDriver/OpenTabletDriver#2895 became relevant and suggested action before the next OTD release - that PR is now pending at OpenTabletDriver/OpenTabletDriver#3566 for the 0.6.x release and a forward port is expected to follow shortly.

After OpenTabletDriver/OpenTabletDriver#3566 is merged, the wiki will have to be updated to either not contain the libinput smoothing fix, or to reword it so that it underlines that packaging should include it. The current code is displayed below:

## The cursor feels slow on Artist Mode {#libinput-smoothing}
Using Artist Mode will result in some minor smoothing due to libinput's tablet handling.
To disable this smoothing, add the contents below to `/etc/libinput/local-overrides.quirks`:
```ini
[OpenTabletDriver Virtual Tablet]
MatchName=OpenTabletDriver*
AttrTabletSmoothing=0
```
You should restart the OpenTabletDriver daemon after updating this file.

The scope of which the smoothing fix is applied depends on success with packaging integration with the 0.6.5 release, so how much to adjust this remains to be seen.
