In elementary os, I used Norka as my primary notes application but on gnome with work but when we have other options then we should check that also and test their capabilities.
So in search, I found apostrophe markdown editor which is available in RPM package format so I give a try this new markdown text editor on my Fedora workstation.
Since I write for my website on the fedora system. here’s my thought on apostrophe note-taking application. apostrophe uses markdown syntax which is hard for someone or not but I already used markdown on norka so I didn’t face any problem while writing.
Apostrophe is available in apps for gnome circle app which means it builds for gnome desktop environment.
Apostrophe markdown editor
It’s come with a distraction-free interface for a good writing experience. Since I like gnome UI/UX. I know many people don’t like gnome desktop environment because of no customization for them. But sometimes it’s good from a productivity point of view because we don’t need to change every time.

In norka we don’t need to save our document it’s happed automatically but here it’s more manually you need to save your files in markdown format and sometimes it’s better for the organization of notes.
How to install apostrophe
You can install this using Flatpak on any Linux system but with fedora, I am using the rpm package of apostrophe.
For rpm, you can download using gnome-software it’s so easy.
For flatpak, you can use the command given below.
$ flatpak install flathub org.gnome.gitlab.somas.Apostrophe
For open applications using a command line, you can use this command.
$ flatpak run org.gnome.gitlab.somas.Apostrophe
Best note taking app on Fedora 35
Fedora shipped with the latest gnome technology first so I am using it as a daily driver because with Gnome we get rock-solid stable performance on fedora.
So I am gonna use this operating system for a long time and for now I am gonna take my all notes on the apostrophe markdown editor.
