Obsidian, featured in the meme, is on Linux, and for a while now free of charge (but with paid official plugins for syncing and web publishing), and I’d say is pretty good.
I honestly just take notes in sublime text myself, which is paid, but I’m paying for it anyways and often have it open in the background. It can store unsaved tabs in some session file, so I can just put unimportant notes in a tab and have them available to open later.
I also want to mention nextcloud notes, I don’t use it for much so I don’t know how good it is, but I have a nextcloud instance and use the notes for simple notes I want to be able to access from my phone.
I prefer Standard Notes, can be used for free and offline, full on backups. I have transferred the same set of notes from countless machines. Sadly it is pretty locked down in terms of features, they really want to get that cash out of a user. It’s still pretty useful and has access to basic features. Which are enough for me…
I find that the default gui editor that comes with each desktop is good enough in most cases (xed with cinnamon, mouse with xfce, kate with kde, etc). But if you’re looking for a terminal editor, a lot of people are praising micro as very user-friendly with solid functionality.
I opened Micro out of curiosity as it’s installed on Garuda Mokka by default. ROFL It’s just an unseasoned barebones window, but some people like that kind of note taking. I would prefer Kate over Micro. If I had to choose (Kate is better for configurations or Python scripts that you don’t need to debug yet).
That’d be because micro doesn’t do a window, or at least doesn’t need one. It’s a terminal text editor, which some people prefer in general, but it can also be used without a graphical environment - like when SSHing into a server or recovering your system if the graphical environment breaks. Or if you’re editing critical system configs with sudo and want to do it from tty with a simple editor to minimize points of failure.
Yeah, I did mention that some people prefer a more barebones experience…But, I also recognize that it doesn’t fit my own use case. Based on what you said, Micro has a solid use for situations where there isn’t a graphical environment or need to minimize complication when working with critical system configs. There are levels of minimalism that I can’t truck with, so I will let people enjoy Micro without serious critique. Just casually poking fun at the idea…
I guess it doesn’t seem like it to me on the surface, as there must be a config file that needs to be edited to get those enabled because I couldn’t find evidence of that on my basic inspection. So I decided to try out Obsidian, as I have been using Standard Notes, Filen and other such things for my notes. I might give it a go again at some point…
Single application, or if you want to wire it up as a server you can do that as well. Few small quark’s - the biggest two are a mediocre mobile experience (to me) and lack of multi user support.
I was going to try out trilium notes, but there was a recent post on this community about how much ai generated code was used and that problems have recently appeared
Speaking of good notes apps, does anyone know one that is on linux?

I completely missed that

How hard is it to learn from a scale where 0 is VS
codeslop and 10 is VIM?Considering how many buttons vs code has, micro seems easier to use
Micro all the fuckin way. *pumps fist like a crazy-person *

micro is surprisingly powerful and has a good chunk of plugins you can use. it’s def my favorite and it’s really approachable.

Do it! Plugin list is Here!
I’m a big fan of triliumnotes.org.

Welp. That’s good to know. I’m terrible at updating so I guess I’ll just not.
