From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

you should try papers. it's a new app that'll replace evince as the default document viewer for gnome in a future version. it's still in development but i've been using it for a long time and it's really good.
Do you feel like it improves on evince in any way? I saw it a while back but it didn't look too different imo
i'm no expert but even though it looks like evince as far as i know is a completely different app build from the ground up
Papers forked from Evince.
For sure, that makes sense. I was just curious if you had noticed any added functionality
currently it is able to digitally sign pdfs, which evince can't do
