Running OpenTabletDriver binaries

OpenTabletDriver functions as two separate processes that interact with each other seamlessly. The active program that does all of the tablet data handling is OpenTabletDriver.Daemon, while the GUI frontend is OpenTabletDriver.UX.*, where * depends on your platform¹. The daemon must be started in order for anything to work, however the GUI is unnecessary. If you have existing settings, they should apply when the daemon starts.

¹Windows uses Wpf, Linux uses Gtk, and MacOS uses MacOS respectively. This for the most part can be ignored if you don't build it from source as only the correct version will be provided.
