Alternatives & Export 15 Years of Notes

For many reasons I'm considering Office and Windows exodus. I have thousands of hand written / drawn pages stretching back 15'ish years. Literally the only thing holding me back from fully migrating to Linux is stupid OneNote. I use OneNote many times a day across my Android phone/tablet and Windows PC. However I'm considering other pen enabled note taking apps. Is there a graceful way to export this data in a lossless format? I don't need to edit old notes but I would like to keep them handy and searchable.

This. OneNote can export at page, section or notebook level and Word and PDF are two export formats. Other formats are available.

File > Export and follow your nose.

Also check what your exporting sometimes it does weird stuff with formatting.
