Save in .doc instead of .docx. And use the Microsoft Fonts in LibreOffice. Microsoft TrueType Core Fonts(ttf-mscorefonts). Term papers come out just fine. You could even choose RTF (rich text format) to save for viewing in a Microsoft Office Suite.
What kind of notes? Jot down notes for short review. I use Tomboy. https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Tomboy
Gnome Tomboy, runs on mac.
You can also Twine it is a interactive story telling app, but it has a wiki nature and saves to plain html, so can view it in a browser.
I use a little program called Tomboy Notes - it's not as feature-rich as OneNote, nor as big and slow. But it has basic WYSIWYG text formatting, and, most importantly, WikiWord hyperlinking. So say I'm writing about the BBEG, I can include the line (was born in BigCity to EvilParents). BigCity and EvilParents will become hyperlinkable, and if I click them a new empty window will appear. I can rename these later. It's very useful. Maybe I should give OneNote a try, though I'm partial to FOSS myself.
I do! I use Tomboy Notes, an open-source offline Wiki.
It supports plenty of text formatting, but most importantly, any word you type in CamelCase becomes a link. Click that link and a new window opens under that title. So I can be writing about the BBEG and if I have an idea that there should be an EvilApprentice I can just write his name like that, then click it. Presto. Later on, I can rename the page "EvilApprentice" to whatever his name becomes (I can even add a space to it) and all references to it update automatically. I really like it.
I notice you have been updating your list. Still quite a good list there. I knew if I spend some time going down your list. I would think of a few more.

Tomboy is a desktop note-taking application which is simple and easy to use.
Taskwarrior is Free and Open Source Software that manages your TODO list from the command line. It is flexible, fast, and unobtrusive. It does its job then gets out of your way.
When ever you have time. Check both these out yourself someday. Their worth knowing that they do exist.
I honestly don't know if it has what you're looking for, but the best note tool I've found is Tomboy (or gnote, but gnote is not available on Windows).
I don't have a personal diary. But, I do make out notes to myself. For references later. Tomboy haven't fail me yet.
ah OOP and notes, sound like you are interested in tomboy-ng the previous tomboy app was using mono/c# but it seems with dotnet core mono is dead in the water. So the devs decided to do a rewrite in modern pascal.
Might not be the most popular or the most user friendly idea, but i've been using TomBoy for some time now, and with some tinkering you can get it to sync with various devices. I find it extremely quick and efficient.
Since I'm looking for note taking apps I'm wondering why there is a lack of (libre) alternatives to Tomboy :(
ATM Tomboy is the only option I have, because I want Win/Linux native + online sync to my own server (nextcloud + grauphel in this case)...

> I craft them new gear all the time. Every 8 levels or so. My desk is covered in little notes, pen and paper, written on envelopes, napkins, scraps of paper, you name it. All these notes are about sets I need to craft. Which set piece where, who has that trait, what style, etc.

There are Linux/OSX/Windows binaries. Best note taking app out there IMO.
Also if you're having issues switching gear between chars, use the junk command (junkee addon allows you to bind it to a key to make it easy) Just drop your gear into the bank, junk it, switch and pull from the junk tab to kind of segregate it.
OR, if its not bound. Get a friend, mail it to them with the subject RTS and most addons will auto bounce it back to you.
I came to Chromium from Firefox--which actually had a really nice bookmark manager--so I found Chromium's bookmark manager severely lacking. I also found lacking the way Chromium/Chrome seems to want the user to access bookmarks--I find neither the bookmark bar nor the way of accessing them in the menu very gratifying. Thus, 'terrible'--though that is, admittedly, a little hyperbolic.
Also, the browser stores bookmarks in a database--not directories. Generally. The browser is just presenting them to you as being in directories (not sure if-and-how the database is organized to represent this, but it probably doesn't map directly to a directory hierarchy structure).
Similar to the folder/directory thing in the OS filesystem sense. I refer to directories as directories and not folders because--aside from it being traditional--they generally do not actually contain files in a filesystem. Instead, a directory/folder contains a listing of locations in the filesystem and this is just presented to the user as a folder containing other folders and files.
In my bookmarks use-case, the problem was that I'd had a huge collection of bookmarks that I'd kept continuously almost since I'd started using a computer (well, not quite--since I'd started using Firefox, ~1.0 or 1.5 or something) and the collection was large enough that it was actually causing performance issues. I didn't really want to get rid of too much stuff or worry about an (apparently very achievable) upper-bound, so the solution I hit upon was to switch to using a local wiki to store my bookmarks, which also turned out to have a number of usability advantages as well.
Actually, my bookmarks were well-organized. As implied, I ran into performance issues once the number of bookmarks I had surpassed a certain size on-disk. I wasn't really interested in pairing it down or going through them--and the implication of an apparently-achievable limit on the number I could comfortably have rankled me--so I ended up just starting over with a different bookmark organization method.
Incidentally, using a Wiki to organize your boomkarks is actually quite a good way to keep and use bookmarks. It's somewhat self-organizing, since it seems to map more naturally to the way one collects bookmarks; you have more organization options, since you're not bound to a strict non-recursive tree structure; and you can actually keep notes and explanations with your bookmarks.
I'm a fan of Tomboy ... but no LaTeX. Sorry!
edit: Oh yes it does: http://www.reitwiessner.de/programs/tomboy-latex.html
is even a package in the ubuntu repo.
