Also it seems like every one note version is good at some task or has access to formatting/organization options that others can only view.
I wish there was an open source solution in a similar manner to immich (quality and organization) wise.
There are boatloads of various note-taking apps, both open-source and not, that are much better than OneNote. Take a look at https://noteapps.info/features, where you can browse by specific features you're interested in. I've just recently switched from running DokuWiki for my homelab documentation to Joplin and I'm really loving it so far (I've setup sync to Hetzner's S3 service).
The only thing that's been keeping me on OneNote is the handwriting stuff. I keep trying to move to Obsidian cause I like it but I take notes on my iPad constantly. As much or more than on my computer.
And I really like how OneNote will take my chicken scratch and use OCR to turn it into actual text.
I can understand that. Maybe check the list I noted above, I’m pretty sure quite a few can do handwriting recognition (doesn’t the iPad’s native handwriting recognition work with Obsidian?). Though I understand the ‘don’t fix it if it ain’t broke’ inclination as well…
