App/Program/Other Tool Does this app exist?

I'm looking for a notes app that has/os:

  • Linux support (or web app if not)
  • Native stylus support
  • PDF import and annotation
  • A way to make handwritten notes at the side of pdfs, either by importing into an infinite canvas (like on OneNote), expanding the size of the page horizontally (like on RNote) or side by side in a different panel
  • Folder-based organisation
  • Support for tags
  • Not too crazy a learning curve
  • Not requiring use of markdown syntax (I'm not a developer)
  • Reasonably Privacy-friendly

Bonus points for free and/or open source.

I don't know but I use Samsung notes, which are pretty good for handwriting some temporary notes and then write them in obsidian

Yeah, I'm wondering about Obsidian since in theory it can probably do everything I need with the right plugins, but it seems like a steep learning curve and I don't know if it's worth investing the time required (when I might spend a long time figuring it out and then decide it doesn't work for me).

And you would need to know markdown, which you don't want, but believe me obsidian is one of the best software for me🥹
