PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ Repo Review: QOwnNotes
During the holidays, I switched one of my desktop machines from KDE Darkstar to LXQt for a change of pace. I previously ran LXQt for about eighteen months and enjoyed the experience. (Forum member daniel has just released an updated ISO, Community LXQt 2025.01, in case you are interested in trying this new PCLinuxOS remaster.) I have been happy using Zim Desktop Wiki, but I read favorable comments about a native Qt application called QOwnNotes and decided to test it for this month's article.
The program's name, although a bit uninspiring, summarizes its philosophy: “Q” is because of its Qt framework; “Own” because it will always allow you to maintain ownership of your notes; “Notes” because it is a note-taking app.
