I'm still saying we need a
Microsoft OneNote for Linux.
The only reason I kept Windows on my tablet PC during college was because of OneNote (virtualising it didn't work, since I lost the touch sensitivity and the erase function of the stylus).
You loaded a work book, which was split into tabs (along the top, I split them into each subject), and on the right under that tab there were pages (which could have subpages - I had a page per weekly lecture and assignment - each with subpages if needed).
You can click anywhere on the page to start entering text (keyboard shortcuts to create a table as you type and calculate math formulas), and draw anywhere with the stylus to write and draw diagrams (with varying pen colours and thicknesses). You can convert entire pages to handwritten text (with pretty good accuracy if you use your tablet a lot since I think it adapts to your handwriting).
There was a diving tool, so you can click between two lines and drag an empty space out (e.g. if you had dot points and wanted to extend the space under one of them to describe it). The tool could be used to remove huge empty gaps from pages too.
The page would be infinite and could scroll out right/down as far as you wanted. In lectures I would just write, scroll down, write, scroll down, etc without worrying about running out of room on the page.
It is also quite simple to insert a voice recording (or plug in a webcam and insert a video recording) into a page, and I think you can sync your notes to the recording so it shows your notes as it plays back the recording (I never tried that).
You could give things tags (web pages to go to, things to Google, appointments to remember, to do) to items, and when you searched through a page/tab/workbook it searched through all the images/video for the text, as well as the audio (I'm not sure how good it was though).
It's the editor (well not really, more of a workbook) of my choice when it comes to brainstorming (drawing diagrams, bubbles, lines everywhere) and drafting documents.
