From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

OneNote.

That's really all. OneNote, on a windows tablet or foldable device with a proper stylus is the bee's knees for knowledge management.

You probably already know but just in case, xournal++ is a good alternative I've been using. Not quite as feature rich but does all the basics. Linux on a windows tablet is a surprisingly usable experience, if a little janky.

USB support is bare bones. Always has been. Been feature requests in the core for decades.

When I switched, about 23 years ago, I missed Moray - the modeller for POVRay. Now I miss nothing.
