17 Top Evernote Alternatives for Note-Taking for 2019
I was wary about including Tomboy on the list simply because it’s very stripped down and not very visually pleasing, but it is very much free. It’s open source software from the GNOME project, a wonderful non-profit organization that believes in free software for all.

    I'm trying to install my favorite text editor Leafpad (http://tarot.freeshell.org/leafpad/). I love it because it is a no-nonsense fast and simple text editor. Source: about 1 year ago
  • elementary OS should ship with a simple text editor
    My own personal choice is Leafpad (http://tarot.freeshell.org/leafpad/), but if someone were to fork Code and strip it down to the bare minimum that'd be ideal. The old Scratch icon could even be used. Source: over 2 years ago
