OneNote for Linux

Moshe Hollander 91

Are there any plans to make a Linux installation of OneNote?

I love the app and it would be great if I could integrate it into my Linux system for better notetaking across all of my work activities.

It will be great when the full desktop version is ported over. For now, shout out to the OneNote Desktop snap. It just wraps the OneNote web app version into its own browser instance making it appear as a separate app:

Microsoft should consider customer request and release Onenote and Onedrive for Linux.

Cleiton,

Do you get any feeling lately that they’re trying to implement what users request? Get that sense ever? They don’t care, it would only condone using Linux over Windows, like a savage monster. /s

There was also a MacOS port implemented. Thus, a port to Linux should not be that hard? There are also technologies such as AppImage (https://appimage.org/) or FlatPak (https://flatpak.org/).

The biggest problem with the web version, in my POV, is how insanely slow is the search feature. So I can't find my data WHEN I need them.
They should consider improving the index system, it's not such a big deal.

I wish they do make an official app for Linux soon even though its almost been 2 years since this questions was asked, I can still hope.

Aside from its casual commitment to apps for macOS and its advocacy of Linux for certain very narrowly defined roles/tasks, I'm pretty certain that Microsoft doesn't want to do anything to accommodate users who either are ditching Windows or appear to be doing so. ...which is too bad, because I also want a OneNote app for Linux.

I've not tried it, but there is a Node+Electron wrapped version of OneNote for Linux in GitHub https://github.com/patrikx3/onenote

Like all the others here they wrap an online instance so not sure how well that works.

This is another webapp https://github.com/webapp-crew/onenote-online-free

Another https://github.com/1Jamie/LinuxNote

And another 'Complete MSOffice' for Linux project: https://github.com/Comp-Labs/Microsoft-Office

There are quite a few 'also ran' projects, but they look less successful, e.g.

Ok but since this is merely a wrapper for the web version of OneNote, it really doesn’t suffice for me. I have since - reluctantly - moved over to Joplin. Free and open source so I won’t run into this kind of cross-platform unavailability again.
