Whether I need a specific application
Julio
Or just to learn
Julio
The pain in the ass are the drivers
Chungy
I run Arch, with several Debian containers too
Anas
What are the odds that I'll regret installing Arch Linux?
Chungy
High. It is not a beginner distro.
Chungy
Debian might go alright for you. Ubuntu and the popular derivatives (Pop and Mint) are really newbie friendly.
Anas
You ever heard of the website called team OS?
Anas
They make custom OS builds
Chungy
that's a super generic name
Anas
Yea

...why would web browsers show up for PDF association?
Anas
Why not
Anas
Thats how its always been
Anas
Atleast on windows 10
Chungy
I've never used Windows 10 :p
Chungy
It seems incredibly odd to go to browsers for that
Anas
It was the default
Chungy
why not a real PDF reader?
Matrix Telegram Bridge
It seems incredibly odd to go to browsers for that
Myon: Browsers are basically their own operating systems
Matrix Telegram Bridge
Myon: It was a matter of time they implamented pdf reading
Chungy
it's been a while but they're pretty basic. Good enough for previewing something on the web, but pretty lackluster for anything useful. per-page bookmarks, highlighters, annotations, often forms don't work right.
Anas
Imagine people switching to ReactOS en masse
