#Linux #ubuntu question: my limitation to ditch windows entirely is that I need to be able to do #academic writing #WordProcessor, i. e. texts with footnotes and with access to my library database. have been using #notabene for decades and have an extensive library database built up. so far I have been unable to run Notabene on Linux. tried exporting the library database to #zotero once and that was a mess. any thoughts appreciated...
I'm about a week into using #zotero and just wow. The browser plugin is MAGICAL. I'm cruising a lit review and seamlessly building a research library for a paper I'm working on next week.
This is open source software done right. Cheers to the Zotero team and community (and thanks to all the fedi folk who shared tips and tricks this week!)

Here are some details of the new #logseq DB variant (currently in alpha):
https://discuss.logseq.com/t/logseq-db-unofficial-faq/32508
TL;DR:
- you can't edit the #Markdown files directly
- #orgdown support is lost
- EDN export is introduced besides MD export
- sync and RTC require a subscription
- practically, you can't run the sync on your own
- #Zotero no longer part of the core app
If this holds true, I can't endorse use of logseq any more.
I need to migrate other people's setups I was maintaining to a different solution. Too bad as it was the only good #PIM tool option I could find outside #Emacs #orgmode. 😔

It's a note about the relative strengths and weaknesses of using #Zettlr and #Zotero for note-taking and writing. Spoiler: I thought I would use Zotero less and less, but I find myself using it just as much as I ever have.

PSA for #Zotero users:
If you were using the "Zotero Scihub" addon, note that it was or will be disabled when you update to Zotero 7.
The replacement seems to be "SciPDF For Zotero" https://github.com/syt2/zotero-scipdf
Since a while, #Zotero is not able to fetch PDFs from Elsevier sites. I keep getting a captcha that never goes through 😬
