Zim Wiki https://zim-wiki.org/
Desktop wiki, saving to .md text files, can commit to git repo and has basic task handling.
Perfect for me.
Zim can be used to:
Keep an archive of notes
Keep a daily or weekly journal
Take notes during meetings or lectures
Organize task lists
Draft blog entries and emails
Do brainstorming
Taskwarrior
None. I'm used to Notion and unfortunately there's no OSS even getting close to that. I would like to move away, but even if I considered to lose my current base or move everything manually, there's nothing feature-rich enough to meet my use cases.
I just use Zettlr (a markdown editor optimized for writing research papers). I wish it wasn't an electron app, as it's paggy as hell sometimes on Linux, but it's the best balance I've found between features, ease of use, and stability.
I’ve loved Obsidian since I started using it.
If I moved to OSS, it looks like Logseq would be closest.
There's Trilium-Next too, I've been trying it for a day or so and it floats my boat better than logseq so far. My notebook is on QOwnNotes right now, it's fantastic but on the simpler side

Many have mentioned org-mode. I used it for years but have moved on to todo.txt and markdown. I use syncthing to keep notes up to date on my phone and computer. I edit with whatever is available on my desktop and I use markor notes on my phone.
I think this setup only lacks the recurring tasks option. I think org-mode can do that but I use my calendar for that.
This is a highly personal topic so I'd suggest trying as many things as you can. Something will stick eventually.

Seconded!
I used to do this, but todo.txt is a dead format now unfortunately, the maintainers left a long time ago. Tasks.org is where its at, open-source, sync how you want, tagging, recurring tasks.
Is it dead or complete? For my purposes, it doesn't need any changes.
Try asking the maintainers for clarification or an update on anything. They're gone.
I use SuperProductivity. It works really well. You can keep track of how much time you spend on individual tasks and I sync it to my nas server so it's synced on my phone, desktop, laptop
