From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I just got a drawing tablet, and have been wanting some software that would allow me to work out math problems, draw architecture diagrams, etc. I've seen some tools like Excalidraw, which look handy for the sharing capabilities. I also have just used plain krita, which has great feedback for the pen sensitivity, but obviously is overkill for whiteboarding.

Are there any tools you use or recommend for handwriting or picture drawing? Pen or mouse?

I use xournal++ for notes and math stuff. Have looked at rnote as well but haven't really dove in and tried it thoroughly.

+1 For xournal++. That is what I usually use for annotating slides and drawing with my wacom tablet.

Xournal++ for sure

I haven't tried with a drawing tablet but I like excalidraw a lot for planning things out like my homelab layout or bases in games. I installed the excalidraw container on my server just so I have my own instance always available

Storyboarder ( but I haven't tried it yet ) it seems geared towards 2D animators

rnote is really slick. Haven't used it thoroughly, though. The default recommendation is xournal++,which is a bit more old-school, but still very good.

Maybe Logseq? It also has a whiteboard function for drawing diagrams and stuff.
The last time I tried it, it wasn't Logseqs' flag ship feature for sure, but as an addition to an already great note taking software, it was good.

My professor uses Openboard and it's look really good
