I'm specifically looking for something that can both add text and works well with a stylus + tablet (specifically a surface pro). The best I've been able to find is Okular, but it's been very finicky for me, especially while editing text. Is there anything better, or does what I'm looking for just not exist yet?

For me Okular is the dog's. If you have snags with it, why not file some bugs? There are several links here: https://okular.kde.org/contact/

Yeah, I've used Okular for a while now on my desktop and it's generally been fine (definitly far better than GNOME's pdf reader), but I've found it's text insertion routine to be a bit finicky (although it's possible I may have missed a better way to do it), and I don't think it'll work well on a tablet. I will still give it a shot though once I can!

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.
