The reason why no native solution for linux exists currently is because libpdf doesn't support annotating PDFs, yet. I don't think Xournal annotates text. I believe it works something like creating an overlay layer on which you can sketch something. If you are fine with having the annotations stored separately from the actual PDFs, okular is a good choice.

Typo in my last email.  The sentence fragment:

"And many of the alternatives"

should be completed as follows:

"And many of the alternatives store the annotations in a separate file rather than exporting the PDF with the annotations so that the annotated PDF can be viewed on other systems in other viewers."
