Onenote alternatives (beehaw.org)

Hey all, I'm a Linux baby and just discovered all my Onenote notes for DnD aren't transferable to my new machine 🙃

I've seen a few alternatives, specifically Joplin, mentioned, but what I'm looking for is an editor that lets me move notes all around or type in random places like Onenote. I found Spiral, but it's not my favorite, though it does have what I need so far, if at a very bare and basic level.

Can anyone recommend anything with the 'type anywhere' functionality? I'm not even wholly invested in it being FOSS, but this seemed like the best place to ask. Thanks y'all

Good luck, people are just going to recommend bare bones note apps that use markdown or something and don't allow placing things where you want them.

I've looked and looked and nothing comes close to Onenote.

Obsidian effectively let's you do it through window panes. Literally lay out any content in any fashion. There are trade-offs but the graph view makes up for a good portion I think.

Obsidian supports canvases now, which seems very much like OneNote.
