Looks like you want something that integrates well with your workflow. The closest to your description seems to be Manuskript although I haven't used it. But your requirement of "keeping notes and frameworks and linking back and forth" should be possible by stitching together existing Linux tools using a syntax like markdown or asciidoc so that you can use any text editor to write your story and use external tools...

And fantasia Archive ( https://fantasiaarchive.com/ ) to structure the rest and organize the worldbiilding and the adventures. If you want to integrate images to fatasia archive, you must use online hosting (imgur the best). And go on the discord, there is a command pinned (it just an html image reference) to link your images. The underlining code of Fantasia archive is in markdown but there is a WYSIWYG editor....

If you don't like this method, there are other technological alternatives. Some are online (and have small prices) like World Anvil, Campfire, Inkarnate (not a writing tool, but it's a crazy good mapmaking tool). If you don't want something online with a pricetag, try Fantasia Archive, which is free and not online. It's not as good as the online tools, but it's still great. I've been trying it for some weeks now... Source: over 1 year ago

I've found Fantasia Archive to be a great way to keep things neat. Source: almost 2 years ago
Both Fantasia Archive and World Maker are downloadable, free, open source projects (I haven't actually used either, but they look decent). Obsidian is also a decent free option for a desktop/personal wiki, though not worldbuilding specific. There's a guide to using it as a GM tool, which is similar to worldbuilding.
