What are some good PDF editors for Linux tablets?
I’m specifically looking for something that can both add text and works well with a stylus + tablet (specifically a surface pro).

Any good non-flat Gtk themes?
I’m a sucker for non-flat UI themes. I’ve stuck to Adwaita for a long time cause it seemed to resist the trend of flattening everything, but recently I switched to GNOME 43 and now Adwaita’s fully flat too. Does anyone know of any nice and crisp skeuomorphic themes? (besides the elementaryOS theme)...
