Je sais pas vous, mais moi #GnomePapers ne m'a pas convaincu par rapport à #Evince.

Gnome Papers semble plutôt joli, mais je préfère largement la réactivité que j'ai avec Evince, autant au démarrage qu'à l'utilisation.

Ubuntu 25.04’s New PDF Viewer App is Now Rolling Out #news #evince #gnome #papers #ubuntu_25.04

I replaced my document readers #Evince and #Okular with Papers

https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.Papers

Papers is planned to replace Evince as the default document viewer on #Gnome

It is a fork of Evince with about a third of the code migrated to #RustLang

New hardcore #PDF rendering performance benchmark for #Poppler:
"Jesus Christ it's a #Lyon (map), get in the car!"

That map takes 26 seconds to render with Poppler on #Linux, but only 6 seconds with PDFjs, or 15 seconds with XPDF: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/-/issues/1555

I've profiled the issue on the various Poppler rendering backends, and there are some hypotheses about the slowness. If anyone can help fix this, that would be fantastic.

Accidental no-code hack for Linux desktop:

When I apply the always-on-top window hint to #Evince, open text annotation boxes in any PDF, and then minimise the program, the #PostIt-style boxes stay visible and on top of other windows.

The result is sets of very minimal post-it notes, packaged into separate PDF files, without additional programs.

Maybe this is useful to somebody. I'm using AwesomeWM on Xorg. No idea if this works for anybody else.

Wait so what's a good #DocumentViewer for #Mobian that can open .doc files? #Evince doesn't seem to be able to open those

(I only need a viewer to take a look from a distance; I'm not planning to touch it or *shudder* dig my hands in and edit it)
