From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah Xournal++ is probably the best hand-written note taking and PDF annotation program available on Linux, it's pretty well known. The system settings permission is to honor some global settings you might have enabled, and the file system access is so you can save and open stuff from anywhere, I assume.

Sorry for the off topic, what's the best device to use xournal++ in your opinion? MS Surface? I guess you have used some hand-written note taking apps before since you wrote this, so you're more experienced than me for sure!

Never owned a Surface, so can't comment on that, but I'm very happy with my One by Wacom (not to mix with Wacom One :p). It's fairly cheap as far as these types of tablets go, it's very responsive (I have 144Hz displays and it's so nice to use), has a nice sueface roughness, it's plug-and-play on Linux and has 0 maintenance (no batteries to swap).

What I like with my setup is that, contrary to traditional writing on paper, I can sit properly, looking forward, avoiding some bad neck and back pain I usually get otherwise.
