I’d love suggestions for apps for note taking that comrades use, ideally just free/open source ones that work on multiple platforms and can sync between devices.

obsidian and concepts are the ones i use, obsidian for reference notes and concepts for mindmapping and understanding on an infinite canvas. neither one is free and open source but obsidian can be used for no cost.
+1 I use exactly the same system!
Obsidian is so nice and powerful. It’s linking features have been super useful for conneccting my learnings on socialism with various other topics.
+1 to obsidian backed with a cloud storage provider to sync the files across devices.
Plug-in support is actually where obsidian shines because there’s so much extended functionality. Calendars, flashcard creation, etc. imho
Also shout-out to logseq if you’re want to take handwritten notes or a cleaner UI
Logseq looks like a good option for Linux. I still prefer concepts since you get the infinite canvas and more drawing features, but I could probably barely get by with Logseq whiteboards for some topics.
Edit to clarify: Logseq has an infinite canvas implementation that you can draw on but things like the stroke nudge tool are very handy and unique to concepts. I also prefer tap with two fingers to undo which seems to be absent from Logseq. If I didn’t have Windows and Concepts I think Logseq would be good enough.
Edit edit: I tried to launch it again and my pen wouldn’t write even though I had the writing tool selected. Absolute garbage dogshit, and I want my money back.
