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.

My use case is a pdf of a book which is meant to be read across two pages - wouldn't work if it's displaying pages 1 and 2 together instead of pages 2 and 3, if you see what I'm saying. Does Zathura allow for that?
Zathura always displays odd pages on the right and even pages on the left. Which is how books are conventionally displayed, ie page 1 is typically recto. I don't think this behaviour can be configured, but if you need pages 2 and 3 displayed together then your book would display correctly in Zathura dual page mode. But if you needed 1 and 2 displayed together I don't think Zathura can do that unfortunately
I'll give it a shot and see if it's compatible. Cheers
