Obsidian + ExcaliDraw is mind-blowing. The integration is absurdly good! It can even render entire PDFs for highlighting (a bit slow but usable).
Only thing I don’t like about Obsidian is the UI. It’s just kinda clunky and obtuse. I find navigating around consistently confusing. Which sounds like a small gripe but if I can’t just open up a note taking app and get rolling I’m just less likely to take them in the first place.
Yeah, even the startup time needs some work. It’s more useful for when I’m doing other work that’s more involved.
I should give a try to ExcaliDraw, the fact is I usually download a plugin to respond to a need, and I’m not certain what Excalidraw answer as a need except draw
Here’s the developer showcasing some of the features. He has plenty of other videos and some are more interesting than others, but they’re overall pretty neat.
Having used both OneNote & Obsidian extensively, OneNote is like a children’s colouring book in comparison IMO.
Not that it’s bad, it serves plenty well for most people.
I think OneNote is potentially a good middle ground between something like Obsidian and something much simpler like Google Keep, but for me it adds complexity without adding enough functionality to justify it.

MS OneNote lags 200-300ms on M1 pro CPU…
Ugh, Syncthing. I bet it works well for syncing between Linux boxes or even MacOS, but when I tried using it to sync between Windows and a couple of Android devices, it was incredibly clunky. I found it confusing and obtuse even though I’ve been a software engineer for over 20 years.
Rant over.

I ended up using a combination of Obsidian sync and Google drive to do what I wanted, and it was much easier.
I’m all for people using Syncthing in cases where it meets their needs, but when you’re mainly syncing notes, I think it’s overkill and doesn’t pull its weight in terms of its learning curve and the potential to screw things up with an incorrect configuration.
Another issue I ran into was that the devices have to be awake at the same time to sync between them. Using a cloud based solution makes that problem go away. Syncthing might be worth it for me if I ever get around to setting up a Linux media server, but I’ve been resisting it because I don’t want another machine to maintain. I still can’t help but think of an old job I had where we were almost unable to do a big demo because it relied on a server at a coworker’s house that was accidentally unplugged.

Interesting, because my experience with it has been smooth, no problem at all. I let it running on my phone and laptop basically all the time.
re: OneNote
Although not a replacement for OneNote on Windows 10/OneNote in Microsoft 365, you can get Waydroid and run OneNote’s Android app with it.
I don’t have a stylus so I’m not able to check if everything works, but if it does, it’ll hopefully feel better than the web client, which wasn’t able to keep up with stylus strokes last time I checked. The number of pens is lacking though, even the iPadOS version is better…

For using onenote in Linux, I just made an app out of the web version in Epiphany/GNOME Web. It’s not as smooth as a real app, but it’s functional. I expect you could do it with Chromium too.
