I find that the default gui editor that comes with each desktop is good enough in most cases (xed with cinnamon, mouse with xfce, kate with kde, etc). But if you’re looking for a terminal editor, a lot of people are praising micro as very user-friendly with solid functionality.
That’d be because micro doesn’t do a window, or at least doesn’t need one. It’s a terminal text editor, which some people prefer in general, but it can also be used without a graphical environment - like when SSHing into a server or recovering your system if the graphical environment breaks. Or if you’re editing critical system configs with sudo and want to do it from tty with a simple editor to minimize points of failure.
Obsidian, featured in the meme, is on Linux, and for a while now free of charge (but with paid official plugins for syncing and web publishing), and I’d say is pretty good.
I honestly just take notes in sublime text myself, which is paid, but I’m paying for it anyways and often have it open in the background. It can store unsaved tabs in some session file, so I can just put unimportant notes in a tab and have them available to open later.
I also want to mention nextcloud notes, I don’t use it for much so I don’t know how good it is, but I have a nextcloud instance and use the notes for simple notes I want to be able to access from my phone.
Single application, or if you want to wire it up as a server you can do that as well. Few small quark’s - the biggest two are a mediocre mobile experience (to me) and lack of multi user support.
I was going to try out trilium notes, but there was a recent post on this community about how much ai generated code was used and that problems have recently appeared
Speaking of good notes apps, does anyone know one that is on linux?

How hard is it to learn from a scale where 0 is VS
codeslop and 10 is VIM?Considering how many buttons vs code has, micro seems easier to use

I’m a big fan of triliumnotes.org.

Welp. That’s good to know. I’m terrible at updating so I guess I’ll just not.
