Will give this a try!

”Xournal++ is perhaps the best-known and most widely used hand-written note-taking app for Linux but Rnote shouldn’t be overlooked. For GNOME desktop fans especially, it has a great UX, a solid feature set and first-rate stylus support.“

Also, there is a Debian-powered Pine Note with an E-Ink screen? Have to check that one out, too.

Only because I couldn't find one that worked the way I wanted it to, I wrote Yet Another Note Making App. Entirely CLI. It may work for you too.

Whilst I thank for the numerous good work you've done - is there any plan to implement a keyboard shortcut to switch between markdown editor and rich text editor? (Not the ctrl L to switch between preview and you panels)

Any discussion I've found, old or new, are simply "you are out of luck".

There are many cases where a document works better in a specific editor mode.

The post where I outline my general theory of notetaking for all to disagree with

At the end of my last post, I mentioned that I had switched to pen and paper notetaking in the early 2010s, after years of serious digital notetaking using plain text files.

I wrote about how much more enjoyable the analogue notetaking was but what I didn’t mention was why I abandoned my plain text system. Nor did I write about my first foray into serious notetaking.

How to install, and optimize Obsidian.md on Linux.

Obsidian is great, but as it's an electron app it can have.... issues. This guide goes over several ways to install the app, and how to get the best performance from it.

How-To Geek · How to Install and Optimize Obsidian on LinuxFix issues like slow startup and high CPU usage from the get-go.

Trying to decide: Obsidian.md or Logseq — which one is the ultimate tool for knowledge management and note-taking?

Both have their strengths, but I’m curious:
Which do you use and why?
Pros, cons, hidden features — let’s discuss!

Anyone use the #Zettelkasten method of note-taking and knowledge management? Stumbled across it and I'm quite curious about it. I read widely across a lot of topics. No longer in grad school but having a way to organize and cross-reference is really appealing.
