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.
I have tried it all, every app out there for handwriting. Xournal sucks and I always come back to : Write
It performs better than rnote in my opinion. It also has infinite canvas.
Is it proprietary? I can’t find any source code
Sadly, it is. It didn’t get any updates for years at one point, too.
The handwriting here looks absolutely amazing! Just can’t see if this is a cross device thing from the site, don’t see a lot of documentation.
It is cross device ! I used it on Windows as well as on Linux.
Try Xournal++
I did, I hate it. I only use it to annotate PDFs, that’s about it. For the rest, it’s bad.
