Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why (www.techspot.com)

When Windows users suddenly discover that their files have vanished from their desktops after interacting with OneDrive, the issue often stems from how Microsoft's cloud service integrates with the operating system. The automatic, near-invisible shift to cloud-based storage has triggered strong reactions from users who find the feature unintuitive and, in some cases, destructive to their local files.

Shit! I'm soon to go Linux and now there's one more thing for me ro figure out then. I have some stuff (not a lot, but some important stuff) on OneNote, lucky me that I made the switch to Obsidian a couple of years ago.

Recent ones I've been trying on Linux:

By far, I'm enjoying Trilium over the others. Trilium can do LaTeX, while Flatnotes and MarkItUp can't (don't remember if Logseq can). That coupled with What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) note taking - the kind of text editing like Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, or Google Docs - makes thing work just like OneNote. Plus, one of the things I was really looking forward to seeing in a Personal Knowledge Management System (PKMS) was a graphical/node map view of all my notes, which again Trilium does.

I'm actually considering making one of my old laptops a perma-server that I can run Trilium on so I can access it on both my new laptop, my phone, or pretty much any other device with an Internet connection.

Last thing I'll say is that it doesn't hurt to try everything and see what sticks!!! Before settling down on something permanent that works for you, that is.
