I literally just finished setting up Radicale on my old laptop, and now I can access my calendar and contacts through CalDav and CardDav from every single client under the sun. Maybe don't use AI to write your entire article. I won't even bother reading the rest of the article if you don't even get this right.
Caldav, carddav, and email are probably the only easily portable data interops.
I guess photos can be re-uploaded but that's not easy.
Do notes transfer though? I know Outlook, Gmail/GSuite, and Apple all have notes but I don't know if they transfer.
What exactly are "notes"? CalDav has a to-do feature that might do what you need it to do.
If you mean a note taking app, then as long as your old service isn't user-hostile it should just all be markdown.
As if calendar systems currently interop easily, haha.
