This is my first run with Budgie and it’s been a long time since I was on Linux. Are there issues with installing programs that are KDE related due to all of the dependencies that also install along with them? I was thinking about trying Okular because I have been struggling with the other PDF pro…

OK so here’s another piece of the puzzle, and I mean no disrespect in this, it is just a troubleshooting step I used and I hope that it will not be taken the wrong way.
