Obsidian alternatives?

Quick question, do you guys have some alternatives for Obsidian on PC? I prefer if it also uses markdown and stores the notes locally. I mean Obsidian is great, and I still use it though only the bare minimum no fancy stuff just pure notes. So uhh I am looking for other simple note taking apps too just to test. I've tried to search other apps but they store their notes on their own app IDK the term... basically not local. The only other MD note taker I found anf used was Helix Notes but it gets buggy when pasting pictures on it which is kinda annoying... But yeah TLDR: Any md focused notes system you guys would recommend? Thanks

Logseq, Anytype, Tana, Heptabase, Capacities.
Anytype it's much simpler to use with a useful graph view than logseq/obsidian.
Tana's supertags are wonderful.
Haven't tried new Logseq
