Linux options for note organization? (lemmy.world)

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?

I like Trilium Notes. It's rich text based, not markdown based, but haas most of the organiation structures of Obsidian. It doesn't have the user base nor volume of plugin support, though. It does have a canvas mode for inking, but it's a separate note type, not part or every note.

For a purer inking environment, look at Xournal++. It's not as feature rich as OneNote, but it has the basics.

Or, you could try running OneNote with WINE. It looks like you'd have to use OneNote 2010 or 2013, though.
