Best/usable free Evernote alternative
Ok, Evernote committed hara-kiri, so time to move on. (no way I'll pay for ransomware) Any tips for good alternatives for Linux/Android platform? My wife used Nimbus note a while back, recovered her account there, ColorNote pops up when looking for alternatives as well.
Also, my wife has about 15k of recepies in evernote, is there an option to export them all and recover them? If not, she knows the most important ones by heart and/or where she found them.
We both run Linux, but I haven't found an evernote application that is still maintained for Linux. (I have a Windows VM somewhere to battle shenanigans like this)

Joplin is an open source alternative. The app is free, but I believe there is a small monthly fee to enable sync across all devices if you need that.
I sync across devices by saving the notes folder to Nextcloud and pointing all clients to it.
This is the way I implement it as well.
I've also heard of folks using syncthing. I'm sure there's plenty of ways to sync up but I already had a nextcloud instance so I went with that.
Another sync option is self hosting the Joplin server.
Or onedrive or dropbox.
I like Joplin too. My only issue is that the developer is weirdly against implementing any kind of encryption or password protection suggesting that users should do that on their end (at least last time I looked).
So I ended up using QOwnNotes which has this feature. But I can't put that on my android phone so I've got this stupid setup with obsidian on the phone, QOwnNotes on my pc and resilio sync keeping it all synced.
I'm not sure what you mean, as far as I understand Joplin has e2e-encryption
Basically this https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/encrypting-individual-notes/841/4
Oh I see, so basically it's missing the possibility of encrypting or password-protecting individual notes. That would be great indeed, too bad the devs don't want to do it
Yep, I didn't explain that well in my first comment. But if they'd just implement that I wouldn't have any real reason to not use Joplin instead.
