Why note-taking apps don’t make us smarter
I can't recommend the Zettlekasten Method enough: https://zettelkasten.de/introduction/
You can do it with index cards or you can use software to practice the method and grow your note collection. I now prefer Zettlr (https://www.zettlr.com) after using Joplin (https://joplinapp.org), which are both FOSS.
One of the core strategies of the Zettlekasten Method is to link notes to each other. That's how knowledge grows: connections and synthesis (internalization/application of the connections)
Here's a 3-year-old video on the method that serves as a good primer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFZHuWLA09M

Notion alternative: AppFlowy vs Outline vs Affine?
I discovered recently [logseq](https://logseq.com/) and it's beautiful. I use quite a lot Zettlr for taking notes on concepts and ideas but I have to say that logseq has become my starting point for daily, short, notes and tasks. I need to work on an integration with Zettlr however, I like the possibility of the latter to organize and connect the texts, especially convenient when writing essays.

I read the top ten Zettelkasten articles on Hacker News so you can do something more wholesome with your day
GitLab software engineer Tomas Vik runs through the slip-box method, based on Sönke Ahrens's book, How to Take Smart Notes. He recommends creating individual plain text (markdown) files and gives clear examples of how this is structured. He used Zettlr as his markdown-enabled text editor of choice, but mentions alternative apps that do similar things. As a bonus, there's a follow-up post a year later, in which the author describes how his process has changed (not much) and why he now uses Logseq instead of Zettlr.

Problems loading LaTeX fancy header (fancyhdr) into Obsidian with Obsidian-Pandoc
First, based on https://github.com/OliverBalfour/obsidian-pandoc/wiki/Pandoc-Templates and https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown-cookbook/latex-template.html, I created a pandoc template in ~/.pandoc/templates/ and put this latex code in a mytemplate.latex file:
From what I understand, based on https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-raw_attribute and https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/139139/adding-headers-and-footers-using-pandoc, if I have the Obsidian-Pandoc plugin (and pandoc + pdflatex installed ofc), then this template YAML header:

Using Obsidian for long-form writing
As an aside, if you do any sort of academic writing, the Zotero Integration + Pandoc plug-ins have been a game changer. It is quite an intense rabbit hole (at least for me as a humanities person) that took me to the command line, but one I’m glad I traveled down. In essence, it allows me to thoughtlessly create a fantastic first draft WITH an automatic bibliography…so, so nice to have.

What app do you guys use for writing except for Google Docs and One Note?
As for markdown, it is much simpler than docx while having the basic formatting you'd need for writing. To export my markdown files to docx for web, I use the Pandoc extension, and you can also install and manage extensions and themes from within the app, so you don't need to code things in manually unless you want to add snippets, which there is plenty of help on the Obsidian forums.

Is it possible to export a pdf but as 2 columns
You could use pandoc and specify the twocolumn option (please see https://stackoverflow.com/a/34809186). You could use pandoc standalone or use it through some Obsidian plugins (obsidian-pandoc, obsidian-enhancing-export)

Is there a way to extract the text inside all these links? I'm working on an essay and wrote it in chunks, and linked all the chunks on the main page. Now I'm at the point where I want to put a "first draft" together but copy pasting every section sucks haha

Show HN: Obsidian 1.0
Have you checked out the Obsidian Pandoc plugin? I think it might meet your needs:
https://github.com/OliverBalfour/obsidian-pandoc
That being said standard Markdown does not provide notation for certain things, so it is somewhat up to interpretation how to convert certain features to standard Markdown.

How to share rendered notes to a non-markdown user?
It does look like the Pandoc plugin can combine documents by processing a master note and any related notes that are linked with the embed link syntax.
