What note-taking software do you use?

I use Vivaldi Notes because it's easy to transfer to other devices and I don't need to install third-party apps.
If I need to create or edit a local file, I use the standard Notepad or Notepad++ built into the file manager.

@kurai
for small notes – Vivaldi Notes works really good.

But for large notes base – I don't need another vendor lock (some sync issue and notes are gone). Notes in plaintext files work like magic – I can move them wherever I want, I can do mass edits, I can publish via some static website generator (docsifyjs, gohugo) and etc

@huxiaomeng I know. That's why I added the note that it was on Linux. It's your thread, but others read it too.

Joplin and Obsidian. And Vivaldi Notes. I tried Anytype but it s so complicated.

Cherrytree is my fave, but it doesn't sync to Android. So for that I use Joplin.

At the moment, I use Joplin syncing through OneDrive (evil).

I'm a fan of plain text for notes. It's portable.
For personal notes, Keep on Android since it syncs. For work, Windows Notepad in dark mode syncing to OneDrive. VS Code for scripting.

Apart of the Vivaldi notes, I use also the Blue Velvet Editor in the Web Panel. It saved files locally in Html format (also PDF, TXT). It also permits to select a web page content and paste it in the editor conserving the original UI and with working links. Also great for designing web pages.
Works also in mobile.

This thread got me to try Vivaldi's Notes, and I like it. I never did like Joplin, but I used it because it would sync with Android. But V. does that too, and better. I like the formatting functions better too. So I've made the switch!

I only wish I could user .css the paragraph styles a bit more to my liking.

@paul1149, Vivaldi notes permits Markdown with which you can style the text.

@Catweazle Thanks, but I'm looking for a paragraph style arrangement. For instance, I want to increase vertical spacing for the Headings styles. And once I set it it would be automatic.

Even for a shopping list, I use encrypted note taking tool
In my opinion, best of the best in the market are:
Anytype
obsidian
Standard Notes
I opted for standard notes for ease of use
