For PDF "your browser" should be the default recommendation. Firefox allows to add text and images now. Gimp can also be used to edit PDF.

Browser is nice. On Linux though, Okular is superb (except for its occasional problems with forms).

I'm really disappointed not to see Okular there. It's FOSS, and it's very cozy and useful.

What does Okular do that Firefox doesn't? I've used it on some distros because it was the default but I don't know the advantage compared to using my existing browser.

Yeah the PDF category is weird / lacking. LibreOffice Draw and Inkscape can both edit PDFs and are missing as well. Xodo looks like some mobile app only or SaaS product.

Edit: Xodo does have a free desktop PDF reader but seems like they're certainly focused on selling their subscription based PDF editor
