EN has already stated that they are not going to build "a" Linux client...what makes you think they are going to build clients to satisfy every needed form of Linux?

I think there's a good point here. Setting aside supported distributions, and package managers... would Evernote be Qt or GTK? Command Line options?

As much as I would like to say otherwise, I think we as Linux users need to accept that we are never going to be a targeted OS for Evernote. Geeknote is solid for Terminal fans, and Nevernote is an option for GUI.

If you want something that's 100% Native, Turtl is an option, and can be self hosted.

It's only a matter of time before someone comes up with an alternative that can import evernote notes like Thinkery.

Although I have not been able to import all my notes to Thinkery successfully yet, I have around 75% imported as of now.

If anyone from Thinkery is reading this forum, They should seriously improve on their evernote import code. Then this thread would become dead.

 

As a Linux only user and developer for as long as I can remember , I will quickly dump Evernote as soon as I can export all my existing notes. It's unfortunate for me that I didn't research the company and their view of Linux before I started using it.

 

I believe it's their business and their right to do as they please and I am not going to be among those begging them to conform. There are alternatives.

Nothing remains on top forever.

 

Give Thinkery a try. Especially those who don't already have massive library of Evernote data already. If you are just starting out and you are using Linux, try Thinkery.

 

And no I am not affiliated with them in any way. I'm always on the look out for something better.

What would make Thinkery better than Evernote? I'm looking at their website, and I see no mention of any Linux client, just their web and mobile apps. If that's all they're offering, there's no major benefit over using the Evernote web app, unless there's something I'm missing.

As someone that is using Linux Mint currently, I'd have to ask the various posters if they have tried NixNote as an alternate client in Linux?

I mean, sure I'd love to see a native client, but Evernote has indicated in the past that they do not plan on developing one. There are ways to work around it, and I believe people have had decent luck with WINE.
