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?

    Thanks a lot! Just installed it, and it is significantly faster. But it appears there’s no support for highlighting text. Is there like a plugin or something like that I can install?

      @karet Zathura is meant to be very minimal, I don’t even know if it has plugins (other than for loading other file formats, like epub). If you’re wanting something more GUIey, Firefox (and thus Librewolf) has PDF.js support by default, and I’ve found that to be performant as well.
