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.

What is the best linux alternative to OneNote? (lemmy.ml)

I've no problem with using LibreOffice for most of my document needs, but i haven't found a good substitute for microsoft's OneNote yet. I mainly use it to plan my RPG games and it helps a lot. What alternatives are there for organizing notes on linux, with similar features to those that OneNote provides?

Siyuan is probably the most advanced note taking app out there right now. Affine.pro is also a good one Appflowy is also good. All are FOSS.

Siyuan looks too good to be true.

I'm using it and it's pretty good. It's arguably too feature rich though. I mean that in every right click you have like 20 options. It's overwhelming.

Also I use the cloud sync and every few days something doesn't sync properly when you're typing and it asks you to re-sync. And so you have to wait a minute while it re-builds the entire index. It doesn't happen often but when it does it's annoying.
