Hey, I'm a Windows user and I'm looking for note taking that allow me to take handwritten notes and internal linking between different notes. And please don't not suggest OneNote I don't like it .(Cluttered UI)
 
I have been using Obsidian and can't praise it enough. It is free, although I pay for sync. And with the plugins there is so much you can do with it. It might take a bit of time to customize, but it is so worth it.

Linking works great through markdown and you get a big graph of how notes are interconnected.

Edit*
Just thought back to this video which is a great overview of how you can set it up and interconnect notes
Yes I have heard Obsidian, but it looks more complicated to me, does it also allows handwriting?
 
Thank you for your suggestion, I have researched about obsidian and thankfully it is allowing handwriting with a plugin excalidraw, it is looking perfect to me. Apart from this I’m also considering, notability app and it looks nice and offers handwriting features that I want. Now, I’m confused between the two, so I’m going to try both for some days, and will see which one is perfect for me.
