    Happy to hear about more users of Joplin. I have used it for a few years, mostly for simple text notes with some markdown formatting. I recently moved my sync from one Nextcloud to another, it works well also after migration.

    Also interesting to learn about your experience of Linux on a tablet PC.

      Thanks for the feedback, Henrik. I’ve been interested in trying Joplin for a while now. I’ve been relying on the built in notes feature with Nextcloud for some time, and just haven’t had time to look at anything else.

      I believe we’re talking about Linux on tablets on the next episode of mintCast which we’ll be recording this coming Sunday.
