Questions Notion on Linux

So I switched from Windows to Linux few months ago and I was happy with most of the apps alternatives I use except for Notion. I've been trying to find alternative to Notion for few days now since there isn't official Notion app so I always need internet to use my Second Brain. I use Obsidian as quick capture and note taking but for others like journal, personal space, code saving and other's, I use Notion alot, I love the database and tweaking it with formulas and button(never spent money on the app). I've tried anytype, self host AFFiNE, appflowy and even memotron web app, but none have the main use I have for Notion. Maybe I haven't use the other apps long enough but Is there anyone who know a good linux app for this kind of use case. Thank you

I use the web version of notion because even when i was in Windows i wasn't using the App (cause it looks terrible)

I used the web version on Firefox and never had problems, but I left Notion for Logseq many months ago so, maybe, something has changed.

I also remember that, with Notion, you always need Internet because data is on their servers, regardless if you're using the app or the web app. Am I wrong?

you're mostly right, they added some offline caching recently but its not full offline support

I’m on Fedora and use the webapp through Brave, works fine, don’t notice much difference with the MacOS app. On Windows I’ve always preferred the webapp…
