I’ve had mine since they launched and haven’t had any major complaints, I’d my Linux experience so far has been about same as on previous laptops. Though I will say that it does get fairly toasty.

Also do you know what GPLv3 means? Open-source into perpetuity they can’t alter the license legally

What do you mean by background sync, like it syncing as a background service without needing to open up the app?

Unfortunately, nested notebooks are still in the planning stage but they are on the road map. It’s also something that I would really like to see added, but for right now since I get unlimited tags and notebooks and you can also select a couple of colors I’ve made a “tech” notebooks and made tags like "linux “lemmy” and things like that and then I can just stack the tags and if need be add a color to it to differentiate it further. I wouldn’t say that Joplin is bad just that leaves a lot to be desired and especially things that I really need for my day to day and just like that is integrated to notesnook. Right now they’re almost done with adding different app formats but nested notebooks is pretty soon on the list

On some level I agree with you, though I’ve justified it by thinking about it as also a regular yearly contribution to the project that I would otherwise forget about doing while using something FOSS

On the free tier you have 3 notebooks, on paid it’s unlimited and yeah the notebooks are essentially folders. The way I have mine setup is a general notebook for a certain topic and then tags to subdivide; you can also assign colors to notes. Also I should mention, there’s a built in publishing / sharing feature that let’s you give out links for people to view your notes.

Stacked notebooks are still in the roadmap so it’ll take a little while to be able to put notebooks inside notebooks.

True, can’t knock you down for sticking with obsidian, it’s a really good app and like you said it’s already a bit more mature. The way I see it, notesnook is one of those things you keep in your back pocket when you need an alternative, like for me, when obsidian and Joplin started giving me issues and impacting my workflow I needed an alternative.

It’s the gentoos or arch approach I don’t blame people for liking it but it doesn’t make sense as a default for everyone

How can you say that? $50 dollars is the same as Obsidian, half of Evernote, and the same as Joplin’s pro cloud tier. Why do I shill it so hard, because it’s the best option for me in the note taking app sphere and I really like it. Why do I knock down Joplin, because it falls into the FOSS trap of making people use something that needs to be configured to be usable.

Also, unlike Joplin, Notesnook has a roadmap of features, tracking their status:

They also have an option at the bottom where you can directly see and vote for suggestions:

Joplin sync is just about the buggiest thing I’ve ever used

Used to use it until I found something better

Organization is limited so the free version has limited notebooks and tags to sort things around.

I payed for Obsidian and used it for the year, I can say that Notesnook’s sync is a lot more dependable than Obsidian’s, especially with syncing android notes with desktop. On obsidian things would always get overwritten or not synced properly. Also unlike Obsidian, Notesnook has built in todo list function out of the box which is a huge game changer for me. They also have reminders, in beta, but pretty usable.

I used to use but it ended up being way to janky and too big a headache to deal with

Thank you

It takes 15 mins to make a stable and usable windows VM, also who buys windows licenses in a Linux community

I don’t do passthrough on my windows VM, since I’m not doing 3D work it still works with qxl

I’ve gone that road and I’ll tell you that making a windows virtual machine is much less of a headache. I’d recommend using qemu/kvm over something like virtualbox because otherwise it won’t be very usable
