Best/usable free Evernote alternative (lemmy.world)

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.

What happened to Evernote? I'm using it now and never heard about any issues.

Obsidian is my fav. It's not FOSS but it uses a flat folder of plain markdown files so it's very portable and open.

Notion is decent as well but smells like at some point it will enshittify. If you are okay with the pain of jumping platforms eventually you could give it a shot.

Joplin is FOSS and I've heard good things about it but idk where it stacks up against the other two.
