I'm starting up another campaign shortly and I used to use OneNote for my session notes because it's so easy to just put stuff anywhere on the page, which is really helpful for the scattered way I think.

But I switched to Linux since my last campaign and I can't find something that I like that's similar in that sort of freeform canvas.

I tried obsidian and hated it. I tried OneNote in browser and it's just so much worse. I tried Notion and I did like it for a bit, but it's really pushy about using its AI and linking to other pages and such.

So, yeah. I mean, my next thought is literally to start using Krita or Paint or something because I can't find a program that's just kinda bare bones and free form but lets me enter text wherever and slap down some character art, maybe draw a few arrows or something.

Help?

Mhm in Obsidian have you looked into using it's Canvas, where you can write boxes with text and or drag notes onto it and then connect them with lines? It's imho the closest to the workflow in One note.
