what is your usecase and what device and OS do you want to use it on?
I use onenote on a Surface tablet and a Samsung Note phone.*
Some images as a background to draw on. Then only handwritten stuff and basic colored sketches. I pretty much don't use the keyboard.
*Changed one pc in the house to Linux, so maybe that's a future option for the tablet.
Any recommendations for that use case?
Joplin runs on both Linux and Windows and can be synced via their own cloud, Nextcloud (selfhosted) and other options that i forgot. Joplin is more focused on markdown notes, but it also has a drawing feature, but i haven't used it much so i can't say much about it apart from the fact that it exists. try it out. If it does not work, use Xournal++. That is mainly focused on written notes. However afaik it does not have a note sorting system so you would have to do that in the file explorer.
I have Joplin on my Linux PC and Android phone. They are synced with SyncThing.
