i'm looking for a reader for pdf's and other media
are there any running debian or other linux based distributions
"okular", "evince", "viewnior" to name a few.
And xpdf.
apt search "pdf.*reader"
yields (among a few false positives) a few possible hits I never heard
of.
Cheers
I've re-read original poster's message and now I think we all
mis-interpreted their request.
I think they asked for a suggestion about hardware, like a tablet
computer, or a handheld book reader capable of viewing PDFs and other
media formats, with Debian or another Linux distro under the hood.
Probably these devices originally will run on Android or on some
proprietary OS with locked bootloader and encrypted firmware, so the end
user couldn't fight planned obsolescence.
Speaking from my little experience, making custom firmware will be
incredibly difficult, also according to: https://wiki.debian.org/Mobile
