Hey all, I’m a Linux baby and just discovered all my Onenote notes for DnD aren’t transferable to my new machine 🙃

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

    +1 for logseq and its whiteboard. It’s the reason I switched. +It’s blocks(notes/paragraphs) can be reordeded. You can pay for sync between your phone and PC. But you can use sync thing which is free and once you set it up it’s pretty much set and forget. I tried obsidian and anytype, but logseq just clicked for me.

    +You can write with a stylus on the whiteboard if that’s your thing.

      This is what I came here to recommend. Logseq is amaze balls and it’s completely free and libre unless you want to donate to the project to use their built in sync.

      I pay for it since I use it on 5 devices, 2 of which I can’t install things on. Logseq doesn’t need Admin rights to install since it’s always a portable app, but syncing is complicated without Admin rights on a device.

      Plus, it’s a small team with an ethical business model building this product in beta; I’d probably donate anyway to help ensure it keeps getting development.
