I use #syncthing as an alternative to cloud services. Share two folders, no matter where they are, on what device etc, provided the device can run a version of syncthing.
And its not only notes: pictures, movies and whatnot.
I transfered 60gb of pictures from the family oc to my phone with that

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.

Years ago, I was looking for something similar. Used turtl for almost a year before switching to Joplin. Joplin was great, but not quite what I needed, and when Logseq came around, I switched again to it. Again, Logseq was just not exactly what I needed (though it is pretty powerful!) and I was worried what would happen when the devs either made it paid or abandoned the project, like so many before it.
The solution to my woes was Emacs. Now, I won't pretend the learning curve isn't steep, but there just isn't anything that compares to it. Org-mode + Org-roam + notdeft is amazing, and I've never even looked for anything else since becoming accustomed to it. Plus, you can easily modify the existing tools or write your own to adapt it to your personal style.
You will never regret the time you invest in Emacs.
Anyone else tried Acreom? I don't think it's open source though, but a local first markdown editor with some cool features like integration with Jira and has a nice UI.
That said, I still haven't decided if I will stick with it. I use Obsidian for journaling, brain dumps, and documenting projects in working on. Ive tried also using it as a Google Keep replacement, but its not really geared for the To-do/shopping lists that I use Keep for.
I've used vim with a smattering of essential plugins for years to do this, and only this year moved to Neovim for the same.
It's not Open Source, but I've also taken a hefty liking to Obsidian's canvas mode. Likewise, I share a small selection of lists with my other half via Google Keep.
I came here to recommend Simplenote. Sorry it's not working for you anymore. I've loved it for years.
Oh, I know! Start carrying a pen and a tiny notepad. It's not multi-platform, but it will rarely undelete. /s
Emacs + org-mode + maybe org-roam
Amazing features, can export to a bunch of common formats.
I use Zim, a local wiki which uses text files with a markdown-like syntax, Syncthing to synchronize the notes, and Markor on Android supports this syntax.
Depends on what method h use for note taking.
If it's not that professionally or for research purposes used then simple note is great.
If it's about research data then obsidian.
Also u will obviously find it difficult to find a good FOSS app for note taking that many of them won't support sync and collaboration.
Affine.pro has potential but a couple months from cloud.
SiYuan is solid and FOSS (GPL)
I looked into it once but there wasn't anything. I just stuck with Google Keep and it works great for small notes.
