Replace OneDrive with a NAS. You can roll your own with something like OpenMediaVault.
Replace OneNote with Obsidian. It’s not FOSS, but it’s free and cross platform.
The only thing preventing me from full adoption in it is the lack of being able to convert to table like in excel. I’ve moved to it for my word processing. But I can’t shake excel because I use that feature almost every time I use the program.
After that i just need to find replacements for OneNote and OneDrive and I’ll finally be free.

If I could afford a NAS I would have done so by now. But I can’t afford the drives. Most other hosted solutions either don’t offer the capacity I am after, or lack other features that I want from a cloud storage.
I didn’t like using Obsidian and I’m not going to learn markdown so it’s out. I’m looking at notesnook, but it’s still not quite what I am after. But might be as close as I get.

I haven’t heard of notesnook. I’ll need to check that out.
I don’t love Obsidian, it’s just the best free app I’ve come across so far.

It’s really close to OneNote so far and has an acceptable self hosting option. The import function seems good compared to other apps I’ve tried

Obsidian is not a great replacement for OneNote. I tried switching but there’s a bunch of things like sharing pages (and no, emailing documents doesn’t count), easy syncing between all platforms (Syncthing doesn’t work at all on iOS and was kinda finicky on other things, and git is just not a valid option), it doesn’t do super well when embedding images or PDFs, doesn’t have the same advanced hand writing stuff, and probably some other things that I’m forgetting.
OneNote is basically the only thing besides email that I can’t find a good self hosted alternative. And I’ve been looking trust me. Obsidian is great if all you need is note taking on a desktop, but that’s about where it ends. Or if you want to pay for the subscription and cloud storage, I would imagine it’d work fine.

You can do that in LibreOffice. Its just a few more clicks than in Excel. Its such a common feature they should really make it clearer. I think the feature is “Database Ranges”

Each time I tried to decipher the answer from argumentative forum posts and vague descriptions I didn’t find anything equivalent. I can take a look again, don’t think that was the name of things I tried before.
