I have used obsidian and excallidraw for my note taking, especially excallidraw for math where I draw with my tablet. But since I started using emacs for programing I would like to move to org roam for school notes. However, I have not found a good alternative program for obsidians excallidraw plugin (I find gimp a bit to big for my purposes).

Gilles Castel (RIP) published a couple articles on taking math notes with Vim + LaTeX which I found eye-opening. In another article he posted about how he integrates Inkscape into the process. If you haven’t read the articles, they may be helpful for what you are doing.

That’s pretty amazing. His notes look like textbooks.

Never used it for notes, but yes inkscape. Inkscape is much more stable than it was in the past imho.

I use Rnote to write freely on a big whiteboard and Xournal++ for taking notes over PDFs of lectures.

Rnote has a much more modern and user-friendly interface while Xournal++ has more features and has been around for longer. I use both where I feel each excels.

I find GeoGebra a handy solution.

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.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
  • No hate speech, bigotry, etc
