PineNote with it's built-in Android is my daily driver for note taking. Nothing is perfect. I installed f-droid and then fennec to get going. Calibre works with the BSP Android just fine. Even side-loading Gboard and using its handwriting recognition works-ish. Obviously not optimized to use the NPU.
Xournal++, um, no. I tried it for a few minutes. Nothing seemed to keep up.
Much of this is because these generic pieces are not using the hardware as far as I can tell. But they work well enough that now I need to schedule backups and overall downtimes to try others. Even with the BSP, the PineNote is being quite handy for my night-time notes. And I turned off all the backlights. Main issue then is that you don't know when the power has run out... The screen is just frozen, as it should be.
