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.

Open source PDF viewer with Dual Page feature? (lemmy.ml)

Hello, any recommendations for a libre PDF with support for dual page (with the option to adjust which 2 pages are displayed)? Normally I use MuPDF, but there's a document I would like to read which would greatly benefit from some additional features...

I'm on XFCE, so was hoping for an alternative to Okular!

Sure, that's extremely fair! Those qt dependencies are no joke! How do you feel about Evince (apparently now called gnome document viewer)? It seems to be the standard gtk pdf viewer, but I've never used it, so I actually don't know what it's features are like. It's a heavier application than mupdf (of course), but at least you don't need to install qt to use it!

I'll have to give it a try! Hopefully not too many dependencies :)
