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.

Joplin is really good for notes, (I tried uploading a Screenshot for you, but keep getting errors) , how and what to do when installing a Linux for instance. With it's sub categories. But for me at least it's useless for a daily diary use. I've been using Diaro on my phone for years now for my personal journal, as it's perfect for noting what do on the day, though I would like to have another option without my data being stored with them, syncing straight to my Dropbox or NextCloud for instance
Thanks for explaining. I’ve never considered using separate apps before, but I do get a little lost having everything in one app.
What features does Diaryo have that makes it better for journaling? I always thought of journaling as just note-taking about a different subject (my day).
It's just that Diaro and others diary apps are setup so that you see the date, title, tags, just like a paper version, again, something that you can't easily do in Joplin
Ahh, I get you now. That makes sense. Thanks so much for taking the time to explain this to me. For chronological stuff I might use a different app also.
I had just been adding the newer entries above the previous. I’d put a heading on those in the format of YYY-MM-DD but that’s all manual on my part.
