Not FOSS but I see so many YouTubers that DM talk about Obsidian for notes. I use it and love it myself, just not for DnD stuff.
Logseq and Joplin are FOSS and are often brought up. Joplins android app is garbage, if that matters to you.
Acreom isn't FOSS yet, but it's on the roadmap and I liked that one.
Notesnook is FOSS but has some features behind a paywall that might be deal breakers for some folks.
It doesn't look like any of those have the basic feature of placing things where you want inside a page like onenote does.
My big takeaway from this thread is that, wow, people actually use that feature. I use OneNote at work, and I absolutely loathe that if I click a bit too low, I end up outside my note.
It's basically the main feature of onenote that I use, being able to make technical notes and tables about circuits or cabling that I'm designing and drag them around to arrange it all is really nice.
Ah, I see. I think. I'm mostly troubleshooting through logs, packet captures, configurations, etc.
Yeah, that's my #1 reason to not use it. I've got a long list of reasons to dislike OneNote, but that's the big one.
Unfortunately I deal with sensitive data in my notes, so I'm restricted. Can't even sync my notebook off my local SSD.
