Install QOwnNotes on Ubuntu Linux. QOwnNotes is a note taking application and to-do list manager for GNU/Linux. QOwnNotes is similar to a plain-text notepad with markdown support for Linux that works together with ownCloud Notes.
Users are able to write down your thoughts with QOwnNotes and edit or search for them later from your mobile device (like with CloudNotes) or the ownCloud / Nextcloud web-services. The notes are stored as plain text files and you can sync them with your ownCloud or Nextcloud sync client. Of course other software, like Dropbox, Syncthing, Seafile or BitTorrent Sync can be used too.
