Bug Description
To make documentation creation (foremost SVG files for tutorials) more consistent across multiple devices (and have cleaner version control diffs), we could use a separate preferences.xml when creating the tutorial files.

Did you have any specifics in mind?
From my point of view loading a default preferences.xml (or point to an empty use folder) should already be enough.
The only thing I considered for creating cleaner diffs was sorting attributes but as we run all SVG files through Scour anyway, that's actually unnecessary.
Comparing tutorials created via CI and tutorials on my machine (MSYS2/Windows 10; actually with my personal preferences):
- document structure / style attributes are identical
- there are a lot of differences which seem to be caused by rounding
and slightly different font rendering between OSs
(an accumulated .8px in y-direction to be precise)
- object IDs are not constant for some reason
(I'd need to look into Scour code to figure out why)
