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 very much appreciate UpNote for three reasons. First it is a flexible and straightforward notes app. Second, there is a one time purchase option. Third, I can use it for Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. Nothing else combines these value propositions.

I was an Evernote user since version 2 but it has just become a bloated terrible experience, and it’s egregiously expensive. UpNote gives me those key features without any cruft.
