Linux: KDE's Okular
Android: Librera Reader
I used to use okular but now use the new flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.Papers which seems to be faster. maybe because it written in rust?
OMG it really is a cult.
what you mean?
the new paper app is faster and that is from someone who usually hates gnome apps because of lack of setting option. (even this app has that issue with gnome-brain UI that put the night mode on the left side sidebar option removed from all other options that are on the right side)
I understand the motivation behind people that think rust is a good language to write software in as it has better memory safety but I don’t think everythink needs to get rusted.
but I understand even less the people that make fun of passionate people that like rust and like safer software.
at first the meme was rust is a cult. now the meme is those who made fun of them are a meme.
example: techrights.org/…/Sami_Tikkanen_Explains_on_Rust_L…
I read this article with the expectation that it was a fair pro-con examination. and it had some bit that was very good point (like the discord part) but the theme of the article was just rust is bad because I say rust people are pod people.
this is not a good technical discussion.
and I ,as a non-programmer that have used linux for that last 20 years and like to follow software trends, like that rust is making a large part of security problems of apps be less severe.
I don’t that make me a cult member.
i use zathura on Linux which does this…
I use Sumatra at work. Might be windows only.
At home I use whatever distro default is. No clue I’ve not opened a pdf for months.

on Linux, definitely Okular. If you use Windows, SumatraPDF is pretty good.
