A kernel update broke my stylus

What's your OS? On Windows, Nebo is pretty good. Rnote is the best of FOSS, but it lacks handwriting recognition if you need it, at least for now. For hybrid workflows (tablet + keyboard) Obsidian also has something to offer.

Depends on whether you want shape/diagram recognition or not. If the only thing you need is free-form drawing, you can use just about anything.

I just tried Rnote. Seems quite decent. But on MacOS, it seems to be bugged. Instead of a tiny pointer/eraser/other tool showing as the pointer, it continues to show the OS mouse pointer.

I will try it on linux later. Hopefully it will work there.

My initial gripe is that there are three different toolbars, all separated from each other. I want to change tools and their settings quickly, not move my hand across the entire screen. For example, select brush tool on bottom toolbar, select size on the left toolbar, then select color on the top toolbar.
