Ok, Evernote committed hara-kiri, so time to move on. (no way I’ll pay for ransomware) Any tips for good alternatives for Linux/Android platform? My wife used Nimbus note a while back, recovered her account there, ColorNote pops up when looking for alternatives as well.
Also, my wife has about 15k of recepies in evernote, is there an option to export them all and recover them? If not, she knows the most important ones by heart and/or where she found them.
We both run Linux, but I haven’t found an evernote application that is still maintained for Linux. (I have a Windows VM somewhere to battle shenanigans like this)

ObsidianMD is what I use.
I’ve used both Joplin and Obsidian recently and for now I’m sticking with Obsidian. Usability isn’t ideal but it does the job and once you’re used to it, it’s easy to use. I’ve found Joplin to be relatively more obtuse and buggy.
I like Joplin’s cross platform sync. I hop between phone and PC constantly with it.
Joplin is an open source alternative. The app is free, but I believe there is a small monthly fee to enable sync across all devices if you need that.
I sync across devices by saving the notes folder to Nextcloud and pointing all clients to it.
This is the way I implement it as well.
I’ve also heard of folks using syncthing. I’m sure there’s plenty of ways to sync up but I already had a nextcloud instance so I went with that.
I like Joplin too. My only issue is that the developer is weirdly against implementing any kind of encryption or password protection suggesting that users should do that on their end (at least last time I looked).
So I ended up using QOwnNotes which has this feature. But I can’t put that on my android phone so I’ve got this stupid setup with obsidian on the phone, QOwnNotes on my pc and resilio sync keeping it all synced.
I’m not sure what you mean, as far as I understand Joplin has e2e-encryption
Oh I see, so basically it’s missing the possibility of encrypting or password-protecting individual notes. That would be great indeed, too bad the devs don’t want to do it
Yep, I didn’t explain that well in my first comment. But if they’d just implement that I wouldn’t have any real reason to not use Joplin instead.
You might want to look into Loqseq and Appflowy. I hear the cool kids today are using notion and obsidian and these two are FOSS alternatives to those.
I love trilium, I can self host. Doesn’t have user support so I host two instances for me and wife. We then use mealie for recipes. It’s worked really well
Joplin is already mentioned but I’d point out it can import those 15k recipes. You do have to do a notebook at a time though (that took me a bit as I had over 300).
There are plugins for various functionality like OCR and hotfolders (auto import). I hear the webclipper isn’t great but I’ve never used it in my workflow in Evernote or Joplin.
I finally bailed after 13+ years of Evernote about a year ago to Joplin and am very happy overall.
I use syncthing to sync files across my Linux and Android devices. With that, I use Joplin for notes and syncthing keeps them synced between my computers and phone.
I like Saber Notes.
