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.

I have been using QOwnNotes for about 6 months. It is cross platform, lightweight, extensible and a plain-text markdown note-taking program written in C++/Qt. It can integrate with Nextcloud. Installable via scoop on Window and apt on Debian† (after installing their apt key).
Author is quite responsive on GH issues.
† Also most major Unixes

I personally use Markor on Android and (neo)vim on Linux. I sync the note files using rsync (but syncthing is totally viable also).
It's probably not the solution you want but thought I'd mention it for others interested.
Depends on what method h use for note taking.
If it's not that professionally or for research purposes used then simple note is great.
If it's about research data then obsidian.
Also u will obviously find it difficult to find a good FOSS app for note taking that many of them won't support sync and collaboration.
I came here to recommend Simplenote. Sorry it's not working for you anymore. I've loved it for years.
Oh, I know! Start carrying a pen and a tiny notepad. It's not multi-platform, but it will rarely undelete. /s
Emacs + org-mode + maybe org-roam
Amazing features, can export to a bunch of common formats.
Affine.pro has potential but a couple months from cloud.
SiYuan is solid and FOSS (GPL)
I looked into it once but there wasn't anything. I just stuck with Google Keep and it works great for small notes.
