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.

I'm happy with Obsidian for taking my notes but I want to find something I can host myself to track web articles, pdfs, mp3 files that I reference as research. I suppose I'm looking for a replacement for DEVONthink or Zotero.

I have a Synology to run stuff on so solutions that run there are a preference, though not required.

For my research (humanities) I self-host linkding to keep track of web stuff and use tmsu to tag all my local files (pdfs, images, etc). I also use zotero for biblatex/word processor integration. I admit it gets a little clunky working across those systems, but the key for me is keeping the tags consistent across all of them. I guess I'd be interested in an all-in-one solution, but I'm years deep into this setup, so I can't imagine the effort it would take to transfer everything over.
