The only thing keeping me tied to Microsoft is OneNote. Does anyone have any good EU alternatives?

Joplin or Obsidian

    +1 for Joplin.

    I originally tried to self host, but then decided to just have a cloud stored version. And my local Joplin apps (phone, desktop, laptop, etc) fetches it and syncs it.

    I had some minor issues with backups. But two years in, it's been my Evernote/onenote/Google keep killer.

    Joplin stores everything in a database and back up / sync can fail and/or corrupt... It's nice that it's FOSS but that was a deal breaker for me.

    Obsidian stores everything in plain folders and markdown files and you can sync it between devices however you want. It's not FOSS, unfortunately, but at least the data is easily accessible even without a program.

    You can have multiple backups methods.

    Some users point Joplin to their Dropbox/Google drive/ cloud storage/etc on their desktop.

    Some users have it backup DIRECTLY to their cloud.

    Some run export scripts where you get the whole file.

    Some use git.

    And the power to export it to markdown instantly is also what makes it great.
