Hey all, I'm a Linux baby and just discovered all my Onenote notes for DnD aren't transferable to my new machine ๐Ÿ™ƒ

I've seen a few alternatives, specifically Joplin, mentioned, but what I'm looking for is an editor that lets me move notes all around or type in random places like Onenote. I found Spiral, but it's not my favorite, though it does have what I need so far, if at a very bare and basic level.

Can anyone recommend anything with the 'type anywhere' functionality? I'm not even wholly invested in it being FOSS, but this seemed like the best place to ask. Thanks y'all

Good luck, people are just going to recommend bare bones note apps that use markdown or something and don't allow placing things where you want them.

I've looked and looked and nothing comes close to Onenote.

    I wouldn't say barebones, but you're right in there is no direct alternative to OneNote I have ever found. It remains the product I haven't been able to directly replace.

    A lot of the products people will suggest are very feature rich, just not all the same features as OneNote. For me, the ability to draw on the page freestyle with a stylus is what I love about OneNote. So easy to annotate notes. But linking and plugins are things others have which I love that OneNote lacks.
