    On the topic of note taking programms.

    Is there anything like onenote that is linux compatible, especially for handwritten notes? The closest in regards to decent handwriting support I could find was xournal++ but that felt kind of limiting to me especially without the infinite canvas and the ability to switch notes within the program (think onenote sidebar)

      There really isn't. I hunted for a while before I gave up and bought an android tablet for hand writing notes.

        What do you use on android? The main thing I want linux compatibility for is for reading my notes on my computer, not for actually creating them. I thought about just annotating PDFs directly but I'm not sure how good that will work

          If you're using Android then just use Onenote on Android and use the web version of Onenote to read them on Linux

            That's basically what I'm doing right now but the web version sucks in my opinion. Embedded content takes forever to load since and it's not cached across sessions which makes quickly switching between multiple pages annoying

          I used Flexcil because of its ability to import and export pdfs. The files it makes aren't really portable but they can be shared by exporting.
