marktext VS Fildem

Marktext editor:

Marktext - A Markdown file editor. How to write in Markdown

Well, see comments below but you're wrong. I now huse Marktext and it's simply perfect.

I tried MarkText, but the collapsibility seemed terribly buggy, and a brief internet search did not increase hope.

I normally take Markdown notes with quick sketches from time to time with a Wacom tablet. I've used Xournal++ and Marktext to do all this, exporting my sketches into image files and inserting them into Marktext. However, I am starting to feel fatigued with this workflow and I discovered that Obsidian and the Excalidraw plugin could be an all-in-one solution for what I do, instead of having to work between two apps and exporting my sketches manually.

I have used syncthing + marktext[0] and or ghostwriter[1] depending on the content of my notes. For a daily journal I like to use ghostwriter as it has almost no distraction and it forces me to focus. It just got shifted over to being maintained by the KDE team and I really enjoy it.

I liked marktext over joplin for similar reasons. But I am probably a little overzealous in my search for distraction free note taking. I assume joplin provides more feature sets, I just happened to want less features for what I do on a day to day.

I know I am a little late, but I have had great experience with MarkText (FOSS, a bit buggy, but the best at what it does by far), Ghostwriter (FOSS, a good editor, recently absorbed by KDE), Visual Studio Code/VSCodium with [Markdown Editor](andhttps://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=zaaack.markdown-editor) (a WYSISWG markdown editing extention) and Obsidian (which I think you already have heard of).

What you are looking for is called Global Menu. AFAIK is not supported on GNOME. There was an extension: Fidem but I'm not sure if it works nowadays.

LINK to Fildem Global Menu

Fildem is not maintained ATM. Installation might still work though https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/11xwqux/global_menu/ + https://github.com/gonzaarcr/Fildem/issues/166

Oh right, I remember that feature from Unity!

Apparently Fildem is a spiritual successor for Gnome.

So, any solution for that, please? I saw this guy saying on the repo that it got it working on Fedora 35, with these same packages, so are not there any solutions for it to work on 36?

Yes i did just get the fildem_0.6.7_all.deb file from gitub latest release and change in the extension ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/metadata.json under shell-version add 42. Than follow the instructions in the README.md

Did you try Fildem to have global menu?

Oh man, please have a look at this at least fildem

The git repo for that extension has a commit called "Added gnome 42 compatibility" that just adds "42" to the list of supported versions in the metadata.json.
