Zim – A Desktop Wiki
I mostly use Obsidian, but I do keep coming back to Zim for quickly jotting things down. It's fast and keyboard-oriented, but also includes most functionality under a WYSIWYG menu (unlike Obsidian). It's nice, if you like that fresh Free Software feel without the web technology crammed in.
Also worth mentioning is Rnote, more oriented towards handwriting and feels closer to OneNote: https://github.com/flxzt/rnote

X1 Yoga with piano attachment
Yeah, I think transcribing sheet music will be really nice with this setup - I will probably write some code to add staff option to Rnote. When I started learning piano I had no idea that sheet music is so expensive...

Rnote - Handwritten notes and sketches
I was looking for a tool to record lecture notes via a graphics tablet on a mac. Came across Rnote which exactly does that amongst other things like document annotation and sketching. Some teething issues but hoping it will get better with each. The app can be built/downloaded from the GitLab repository here: https://gitlab.com/dehesselle/rnote_macos

Rnote – An open-source vector-based drawing app
I highly recommend Rnote to anyone on Linux that misses the "hodgepodge" notetaking of apps like OneNote. It works like a dream on touchscreens and drawing tablets, with a surprising amount of configuration under the hood.
Also worth noting is Xournal, an older but similar project: https://xournalpp.github.io/

Book list for streetfighting computer scientists
I've been using Xournalpp[1] for many years, highlighting books as I read them, adding in text/hand drawn annotations in whitespaces if necessary. Unlike other PDF readers/annotators, it saves a separate file, so the original PDF is untouched. It can also export the annotated PDF as a new PDF with highlights and annotations.
Obsidian[2] also has PDF support, where you can open a markdown document side by side with the PDF to take notes as you read. I think it also lets you highlight the PDF itself.
Emacs I think has a similar feature, via plugins/org-mode(?) to the Obsidian setup.
And of course your typical PDF reader probably has support for highlighting PDFs too, but I find them clunky and they save by exporting a PDF, which can be a bit heavy-handed IMO compared to just saving the annotations/highlights as a separate file as Xournalpp does.

Combined metric for finding and decoding (digitally) handwritten text on a page?
Currently, I am trying to build a small open source NLP project for which I first find text on a page and then translate it; see the current project state here: https://github.com/PellelNitram/xournalpp_htr. The purpose of this project is to make handwritten text in Xournal++ searchable for all users.

Alternative to MS OneNote that’s truly as good? Flair is limited but more precisely is I’d like cross-platform.
On Linux, Xournal++ is the best thing that can do inking. https://github.com/xournalpp/xournalpp

Project management tools
Personally, I've used xournal++ for a few semesters, but I would be lying if I've said that it's anywhere near feature parity with OneNote. There's also Styluslabs Write, but it generated files that are a little difficult to manage. Obsidian is also a great choice, but it's markdown only, if you're expecting pen support
