A really nice feature of GNOME's new document viewer (Papers) compared to Evince is that now when I want to open up a textbook to study together with someone they won't get a glimpse of what smut I was reading beforehand. :puppycat_saying_butt:

@csepp i should try that. Can it read epub? I'm using Okular since a few months but I tried it on an old laptop and it was very slow to start.

@kototama Hmm, it can't do it on my machine (NixOS), but... maybe? It very well might be a compile time option. I know Evince can read CBZ/CBR, but on Guix it was sometimes broken, because its dependency (libarchive, I think?) was too old, so it didn't autodetect it at compile time. I suspect that Papers has the same rendering engine.

@kototama I guess I could have just looked at the project page instead of theorizing: https://apps.gnome.org/Papers/

epub is not listed. Although it also doesn't say that the list is exhaustive. :neofox_3c:

@kototama Looking into it did make me install Foliate, first impressions:

much quicker startup and better support for dark mode compared to Calibre
