Onenote alternatives (self.foss)

Hey all, I'm a Linux baby and just discovered all my Onenote notes for DnD aren't transferable to my new machine 🙃

I've seen a few alternatives, specifically Joplin, mentioned, but what I'm looking for is an editor that lets me move notes all around or type in random places like Onenote. I found Spiral, but it's not my favorite, though it does have what I need so far, if at a very bare and basic level.

Can anyone recommend anything with the 'type anywhere' functionality? I'm not even wholly invested in it being FOSS, but this seemed like the best place to ask. Thanks y'all

Maybe check out xournal++, has the type anywhere functionality

also has pressure sensitive pen support

This is the answer. Joplin and obsidian are excellent for markdown notes, but theyr arent suitable for "jot whatever, anywhere".
