I had the same symptoms. Try the changes to the code I made in pull request 95. It uses a newer Linux API to register the device, and libinput seems happy with it now, so it works in gimp and inkscape.
Completely confused

So I am a complete noob and I am trying to figure out the installation, I installed the app on my device but I don’t understand what I am supposed to download on my PC/how to download it on my PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Yes, as stated in the requirements section in the Readme, you need Linux to use gfxtablet. (Would be a good reason to give Fedora or Ubuntu a try
