Joplin
Joplin - the secure note taking and to-do app with synchronisation capabilities for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.
What I would do is stick to Docker, get a Linux distro like ubuntu and join the Docker workforce. Use as many UIs as possible: Nginx Proxy Manager, Portainer and use linuxserver.io containers. That's the easiest possible way I can think of starting and this is not for play, its serious stuff and will definitely work as well as you need. No overhead or anything in this sort of setup!
Once you get the feel of things (setting up database and things like that try https://bitwarden.com/ password manager.
I can’t recommend this site more: https://perfectmediaserver.com/ Ubuntu running docker compose containers. I went from knowing nothing about linux, to command line docker compose user in a couple of months. Even if you don’t follow their guides, they explain the tech in just enough detail to where you feel comfortable following documentation and other tutorials
I personally use Joplin as my notes repository - it's very similar to OneNote and is self hosted by just running a WebDAV server on my Synology NAS. As I learn things, I create new notes and that helps me keep track of which tangent I've mastered and which ones I need to learn more on.
