Linux

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.

to read epub files I've always used calibre library. Just wondering if there's something better.

To ocr pictures and the like I've used ocrfeeder. Maybe you use something better?

I also recommend Foliate as the other comment said. Frog is great for extracting text quickly, especially with the screenshot tool
