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.
Thanks to this discussion I just learned that my favorite note app - Trilium notes - supports this via a special note type “Canvas Note”
So now I’m adding it to your pile of suggestions, and also it’s a fantastic and featureful notes app in general. Easy to set up server-side component if you are interested in that, but not required.
You will still discover new features years into using it. (as I just did)
