Ok, Evernote committed hara-kiri, so time to move on. (no way I'll pay for ransomware) Any tips for good alternatives for Linux/Android platform? My wife used Nimbus note a while back, recovered her account there, ColorNote pops up when looking for alternatives as well.

Also, my wife has about 15k of recepies in evernote, is there an option to export them all and recover them? If not, she knows the most important ones by heart and/or where she found them.

We both run Linux, but I haven't found an evernote application that is still maintained for Linux. (I have a Windows VM somewhere to battle shenanigans like this)

I'm using free Standard Notes account for couple of years and it's pretty solid for basic note taking. It obviously lacks all the bells and whistles of paid version, but I'm fine with this for the great price of $0.

I'm using the paid version (I have a Professional plan but I still pay 49.99$ a year, which was the old price I believe). It's pretty great, but markdown support can sometimes be janky and I also have problems with sync from time to time. Also the apps make me re-login randomly, and one time the app thought I had a free subscription instead of a paid one and, because of that, ALL of my markdown notes were turned into plaintext notes. I still have to re-set them all, one by one, to markdown.

There is also 100GB cloud support for files, subscription sharing and a bunch of other stuff, but I'd rather see them work on making the whole experience more robust, instead of adding new features.

With the current prices I would not recommend upgrading to a paid version, and I'm also looking to switch to something more flexible and robust.

There's Notesnook, which looks like pretty much the same thing. Might be worth checking out.
