Rnote β 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.
- Xournal++ β Take handwritten notes with ease
- Pdftool.org: modify pdfs offline in the browser
-
Xournal++ is now fully supported with ChromeOS 115!
[Xournal++](https://xournalpp.github.io/) is in my option the best handwritten note-taking software out there, because it has all the coolest features (like LaTeX snippets and shapes) and it's open source too, so make sure to check it out!

Annotating pdfs and keeping track of your notes - app recommendations request
I use org-noter: Emacs document annotator, using Org-mode.

Emacs for literature
Well, for me personally, I get a lot out of org-noter. I like to write in org-mode but frequently find my editing skills are improved by exporting it to a more "readable" format. I then like to use the specific-note function to click on the exported pdf/whatever to add highly localized notes for myself, which are collected in a bidirectionally-linked org file for later review.

Integrate Zotero pdf notes with org roam
An alternative is to open PDFs, from Zotero or from anywhere else, with Emacs' pdf-tools (https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools). If you annotate the pdf, those annotations are part of the pdf. And you can also use org-noter (https://github.com/weirdNox/org-noter) and org-noter-pdftools (https://github.com/fuxialexander/org-pdftools; but see https://github.com/fuxialexander/org-pdftools/issues/93#issuecomment-1493314118 if you use the new org-noter from https://github.com/org-noter/org-noter).

Does anyone use ORG-NOTER with EPUB files and the NOV package?
I created a new user, did a fresh git clone https://github.com/weirdNox/org-noter.gi and used use-package to install nov.el.

Org-noter is under new maintainership with the first MELPA update since 2019
See the original repo, which links to a video demonstration.

Note taking app for Linux where I can add PDFs and write notes alongside them
There are some Emacs org-mode plugins (for example org-noter) that do exactly this. But this is just me pointing this out as something as exists, and not really a recommendation - Emacs is really intense to get into with a Steep learning curve.

Is there a way to do digital handwritings in emacs?
Nothing special. Assuming you have org-noter installed, create your org-roam node. Then create a headline. Run M-x org-noter (or whatever shortcut you have bound this to) on the headline. Emacs will prompt you to fill in your /path/to/pdf. It creates a property to save the file and page location.

Is org-noter dead and what are its alternatives ?
Moreover, no changes have been made for about 3 years in its github repo..

pdf tool that will take my highlighted text and automaticall turn it into a list of moveable bullet points
I use org-noter for emacs to do something similar to what you are wanting. But emacs isnβt for the faint hearted so probably not the best choice.
What are some alternatives?

obsidian-excalidraw-plugin - A plugin to edit and view Excalidraw drawings in Obsidian
excalidraw - Virtual whiteboard for sketching hand-drawn like diagrams
notekit - A GTK3 hierarchical markdown notetaking application with tablet support.
pdf-tools - Emacs support library for PDF files.
logseq - A local-first, non-linear, outliner notebook for organizing and sharing your personal knowledge base. Use it to organize your todo list, to write your journals, or to record your unique life.
