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.

This could be something worth trying out. Do keep in mind that the dev admits that the save format is not yet really stable.
So far this one looks the most like what I’m familiar with, so probably will try it first! The save format not being stable might be a deal breaker for now though as like I said, I move between devices a lot.
My deleted message was me accidentally replying to the wrong post.
This looks amazing for handwriting! I'll look into it more. From what I see so far though, I can't tell if this will sync notes between devicesReplied to the wrong post… So far this one looks the most like what I’m familiar with, so probably will try it first!

It is a well maintained project and the only one with an infinite canvas. It has a modern GTK4 UI but it may still be a bit rough around the edges especially the text input function.
