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?

    I was asking a similar question a few months ago, and my search turned up Joplin. It’s a free, open source app that works across multiple platforms and can sync data through a cloud service, either through Joplin’s own cloud storage or through a third-party cloud storage like Dropbox.

      Joplin also supports encryption straight out of the box, which is nice if one wants to host on a third party cloud. Native support for both Nextcloud (WebDAV) and Syncthing (Direct file sync) is nice if one wants to self-host.

        I use and enjoy Joplin. It’s much less feature-rich than OneNote, but if you’re predominantly using it to make text-based notes it does that with aplomb. I enjoy the cloud syncing, which is very useful combined with the fact that there’s an Android app (so I can access my notes on the go).
