An older version of tomboy-ng, v0.32 is available in the Debian <bold>Bullseye</bold> repository and 0.36c in Bookworm. Sadly, changes were made to Bullseye after it was added to Debian, that version will have problems if you use a Gnome Desktop. Please see https://github.com/tomboy-notes/tomboy-ng/wiki/System-Tray-on-Linux . For other Desktops, you can install as you would for other repository applications but the version here is "bigger and better". Both Bullseye (11) and Bookworm (12) benefit from manually installing the latest release from here, I recommend the gtk2 type for simplicity, debs : [32bit]($$DEB32) or [64bit]($$DEB64) . Also available is the Qt5 [64bit QT]($$DEB64QT) version or Qt6 [64bit QT]($$DEB64QT6) type.

If you wish to sync to a SMB: network share, open that connection before configuring tomboy-ng sync. If you cannot see it in the File Dialog, you probably will need to install gvfs and gvfs-fuse (but bookworm seems to have them preinstalled, good).
