Looking for OneNote Alternative (feddit.de)

Hey everyone,

I am looking for an alternative for OneNote for Linux. A clone would be perfect, the interface of it and the ability to paste pictures into a very wide notes field is great. Please help me!

I use Joplin and sync the notes between devices (including Android) with Syncthing. There's lots of other options for syncing, but I already had Syncthing set up and liked it

I moved from Onenote to Joplin, and it's been faultless. I'm using a free dropbox account for syncing and that works fine too.

Logseq is my go to. It can be as simple or complex as you want, and it's open source under AGPL 3.0 which is really important to me.

I selfhost my Joplin server and use the clients on my Linux desktop, my windows laptop, iphone and Android. It is definitely one of my favorite selfhosted apps. To prevent any issues with sync, the first thing I do when I open the app is to click the Sync button and do the same when I close the app at the end of the day. This way I ensure that I am always working with the latest version. It has not failed me so far, considering I am a very heavy user and have quite a few notes running at any given day.

Joplin is great but Obsidian is definitely worth checking out. You can find both as flatpaks.

Big fan of Obsidian. Especially for written notes. If you are working with a lot of images I'd give its canvas feature a try. I'm not using it personally, but I think it might fit the bill.

I dont use canvas, but I deal with plenty of images and screenshots. I usually just have a topic top level folder that contains notes and a nested media folder that I store the images in and link to them

If you use vscode, the foam extension is great!

Thank you! Trying it out now and it's amazing.

I would suggest Logseq. It's excellent and a step up from One Note IMHO.

I'm using it both for notes at work (software development) as well as a separate graph for my own thoughts, ideas, todos, pretty much everything. Using Syncthing to sync my graphs between devices works pretty well, though it's had a bit of a learning curve in getting it set up.
