What OSS tools do you use for personal knowledge & task management? (lemmy.ml)

I've been looking into all sorts of them recently: logseq, appflowy, vikunja, etc. What tools do you use? Why? What problems did you run into with the previous set of tools you used for this job?

Right now I'm primarily interested in finding a "zero-knowledge" (cloud provider doesn't have access to my data) system for task management. Needs to be able to have recurring tasks and tasks organized in some interesting/useful ways (by projects/labels/something, maybe a kanban and table view). Deadlines and time tracking/planning interesting but not required.

I've never found a use for any of this. I only utilise a calendar. How complicated are your people's lives?

I'll take the bait if no one else will.

A calendar is useful for one thing: pinning events that will happen at a known time and being reminded of when they are about to start.

If you need to keep extensive notes on projects, understand how late or accelerated tasks will impact other dates, break down work into steps, track progress on a project or individual task, create lists, map ideas, inventory items, archive knowledge, or sketch workflows, a calendar is worthless.
