    On desktop Linux, Joplin is pretty awesome for this, but I personally use Marktext since it’s more like a code editor where you open a folder of Markdown files. It’s a little different to how OneNote (and Joplin) works, as they organise notes into “notebooks”.

    On Android, aside from Joplin, Markor is excellent as well!

    If you happen to use a Linux phone, I’ve been using Apostrophe on my pmOS Phosh device and it’s pretty good, but there are no “notebooks” or folder structure, it’s more similar to a standard text editorm It has all the markdown bits you need though, and that’s enough for me. I can just navigate to different notes via the file picker!

    If you mostly make hand-written notes, Saber is awesome and can sync via Nextcloud. Plus, it’s available on desktop Linux, Android, iOS, and even mobile Linux! Very cool. Other apps exist too, like Xournal++ and Rnote.

    To sync between files, I use Syncthing. It’s peer to peer and doesn’t rely on a hosted cloud service, and it’s very quick too because of this! I also my old laptop running as a little server, and it also runs Syncthing (so I can sync even with just one mobile device on)

    I’ve also heard many people use Nextcloud for sync if you do need a cloud hosted services. You can decide to run NC on either a public instance, a VPS, or your own local hardware depending on your use case and technical know-how.


  • On Linux, I use Eden is it mostly works. Some games have a few bugs, but it is mostly fine. On my Android phone, the game runs but my Mediatek chip’s Mali GPU doesn’t have any supported drivers for Eden so I just see a black screen. I can even click on some of the buttons and get some sound, but no visual graphics at all. I believe Qualcomm chips will work much better for this. My Mediatek phone still runs everything up to 3DS fine though.


  • The community believed their voice weren’t being heard by the shareholders, and the lack of a good response by Organic Maps led to a fork of the project being formed. CoMaps was meant to have more transparent governance and take more into account community feedback, and both the name and logo was voted by community members! I also know that iodeOS, a French based private degoogled Android ROM, ships with CoMaps as its default mapping app!

    Additionally, CoMaps has already had a few neat extra features over Organic Maps added, like a nicer UI, which is pretty cool. And I think the (community voted) logo design looks nicer than that of Organic Maps, but that’s just my opinion.

    I much prefer using OpenStreetMap apps like CoMaps since you can download offline versions of the map!
