    app: new default dynamics is "Pressure Size".
    
    Another sensible default change proposed by Aryeom. Until now, all tools
    which could make use of dynamics started with "Dynamics Off". This makes
    it very hard for beginners to start using GIMP with a tablet directly
    without actually knowing the technical settings of the software.
    This is even more anticlimactic in GIMP 3 as tablet are supposed to work
    from scratch (and they do), but without a proper dynamics, you can't see
    it. And same as it used to in GIMP 2.x, at first launch, it looks like
    your tablet is not recognized.
    
    We hesitated between "Pressure Size" and "Pressure Opacity". Both are
    sensible choices and would directly show your tablet works. Also they
    rely entirely on tablet-specific input (pressure), unlike e.g. speed or
    direction, which is much better for the purpose of showing the tablet
    works and is properly supported.
