I’ve been using evince to open PDFs. But for larger PDFs it is quite laggy, for selecting the text and stuff like that. Is this just a limitation of my computer, or are there faster alternatives to evince?

    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

          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
