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 dunno if this is weird or what but personally I can't stand markdown editors. It's 2023 and Microsoft Word is a fairly polished thing that I expect replicated in some way in my note taking app.

Currently I'm using Notion and it's pretty nice. Free for students too which is great.

I was using Wiki.js which was nice but a bit clunky and I ran into a few showstopper bugs that I couldn't bother fixing.

Different strokes for different folks, but I wish markdown was in everything. I love the simplicity of it and how easy it is to bold, italicize, make a header, etc. while typing. I'll take markdown over docs or word any day of the week.

I'm with you, I'm at the point where I go to use markdown in emails and loathe having to click around to format things nicely.

Yeah it's funny how some absolutely swear by it, yet others can't stand it.

@Maxcoffee that's understandable. My boss also hates Markdown. It's not for everyone. I like how lightweight it is, how many things support it, the inline formatting, portability, etc.

Like I said though, it's definitely not for everyone.

My biggest pet peeves is partial support for markdown.
