Zotero on Linux is janky and slow
I don't know if it's just me but Zotero on Linux is very slow for me. If I try to scroll through PDFs really fast, it just freezes up for a bit. Cycling through search results is slow as well. I think maybe it's just the inbuilt reader that's slow because the rest of the app seems okay (although I don't really have a lot of documents on it)
Zotero Version: 7.0.27
OS: NixOS 25.11
