    My biggest issue with all these Markdown editors is that the format is text only, forcing other files to be stored independently. It does not support embedded pictures, formulas, etc.

    My perfect option uses some format that would allow text, pictures, audio and video, optional LaTeX formatting all in one file, and wouldn’t be constrained to a single application that can run it all. At least some apps supporting it should be in a note-taking layout, not a standard office program.

    Mobile support would be a banger, too, but is optional.

    Essentially, I want a OneNote-like experience without walled garden, bundled in a way that would allow it to be painlessly exported into several other pieces of software, available on Linux.

    Any ideas on that?

        Not really, still MD-based :(

        Closest to that were Trilium and Zettlr, but again, they store media separately and address it in inconvenient ways.

          How so?
          I configured Obsidian to throw all media files in one directory.
          All files are referenced by a common picture link ![](img.jpg]

          Can’t imagine anything better and I prefer the source srill being easily accessible instead of a converted/reduced copy embed.

            Is the path relative? I would also love for it to be portable, for easy backups and sync.

            I’ll check it out anyway, maybe I missed something. Had a lot of pain syncing image paths in Zettlr a while ago.

      xournal++, you can write text with your keyboard, latex, you can add audio

      you can’t add video though

        Not sure it fits entirely, but this seems like a superb option for handwritten digital notes which I’d also like to see!

        Useful for when I need to quickly insert some formula or figure.

      Not OpenSource, but free, reliable and private, online right in your browser, it’s a complete word processor, you can also edit Html, select webpages and paste it in the editor which conserve the original UI with all working links, Files and documets are stored locally in .htm, .pdf or .txt. Blazing fast and works also in mobile, even as PWA.

      (Part of the SSuite, it’s a hobby project of two elictricians which make money with their workshop, not with these apps, no commercial interests, no ads, logs, tracking or othe crap, no account)

        Thanks! Will check it out

        P.S. Seems more like a general purpose editor with a twist, though, and not a solid note-taking solition upon the first glance. Thanks for the recommendation anyway!

          Well, you can use it as such, storing the notes locally with the corresponding title. You’ll find a lot more on the SSuite, maybe there you’ll find something els which may serve you, anyway good to bookmark it, it’s pretty usefull.

          But I also remember another app, an old Gem, OpenSource which may fullfit your needs, it’s a very powerfull tree style note taking app, rich text format and if you need, also syntax highlighting for programming scripts. (Windows, Linux) (.rtf, .txt, scripts)
