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.

You should have seen my face when I discovered that it even supports 3D graphics, but you can probably count the functional readers on your fingers... and they're all proprietary.
Honestly not surprised, PDF feels like a taped together format that is at the whims of Adobe, supporting all those exotic features would be hell and I would not want to be in the position of the person who takes care of that. At this point it feels like a shittier website without responsiveness
