So I tested this app in the new Cosmic environment of Pop-OS along with the help of chatgpt to troubleshoot terminal tracebacks. I was able to get it to load the main GUI interface after installing Python3, Qt5, and all other dependencies it asked for along with manually updating every single script, so that it would see the correct scripting according to the updated terminology vs python2. Many lines were just a matter of swapping the references for Qt4 over to Qt5 and updating some terms from "QtGui.whatever" to "QtWidgets.whatever", as well as a few other syntax errors. Unfortunately, I can't get Cosmic to locate the libwacom or libwacom2 repo's as indicated by chatgpt or official sources, so that may be part of the hurdle I'm facing as there doesn't seem to be any tablet implementation in this OS by default in its current state (epoch alpha 3) like the standard pop-os versions and all other distros have. Once it opened the main GUI, no tablet detection is visible, so it doesn't load any buttons despite me having an old Intuos 3 PTZ-430 tablet plugged in. I checked via terminal that drivers are loaded and the hardware detected via grep/lsusb/etc. So, the tablet and stylus does seem to be seen by the machine, but stylus taps and button clicks don't seem to work.

I'm not professional programmer by any means, just an artist interested in having hardware support under linux for equipment and software to get away from Windows so I dabble in coding and all things linux related. I don't know how to contribute correctly here on github as I've never submitted pull-requests or compiled code for this type of program, but I used the source-code.tar.gz asset in the latest version listed here to do all this in one afternoon. I feel like I made some good progress in getting this to work somewhat flawlessly under Python3 & QT5 in such a new OS. I just know nothing about Rust or proper methods to share my wacom-gui directory files with the correct ppl in this project. Any and all help is welcome in getting Wacom support built into this OS and getting this app to work as intended as I like that it has the Windows-type interface which seems to work great with the hardware I'm testing it with in other distros and under Windows.
