Good Linux note taking app with stylus support for hand writing?

DashboTreeFrog@discuss.online to Linux@lemmy.ml – 85 points –

Complete Linux noob so apologies if anything I say or ask about sounds dumb.

I want to start making the switch to Linux and I've got most things figured out I think. I plan on putting either Mint or Fedora on my old Surface Go gen 1 because it's not critical for my work and potentially losing some functionality there won't cause huge issues, but my main use of it right now is taking notes on Onenote that I can then view and edit from my other devices as well.

Looking into Onenote and alternatives on Linux, I keep running into comments about the lack of handwriting support or no straightforward answers about stylus support. Anything Lemmy recommends I try? Also, any advice on running Linux on the Surface Go in general is welcome. Found some resources already but doesn't seem like people do this often.

Obsidian with the Excalidraw plug-in is very good, as you can also integrate non-handwritten notes, convert handwriting to text etc. !

I believe Logseq also has this built-in via Tldraw integration and it's fully FOSS which I dig.

Holy shit how have I not heard of that plugin yet, that's awesome. Yet another point in Obsidian's favor, at least for me
