Apparently so. It's probably going to depend on distro, when that distro was installed and potentially also user preferences if they've installed something they found familiar instead of using a new default.
Those of us on older Linux Mints, for example, might have had Evince as the default, but now the default is Mint's own Xreader, an Evince fork.
That's presumably either because it was forked before Papers was a thing or because Papers has the enforced GNOME interface making Evince a better starting point.
I don't even think about it. Double-click a PDF and Xviewer starts up and works perfectly.
Right. The latest version of GNOME was implied.
