Why don’t just use something like Joplin? Or you could try NovelWriter. Both are open source and easy to use.

How did you test it’s apparent ‘slowness’? I use it and have no issue.

I’m not American so it’s not up to me. You do all have a lot of bullets though :)

I mean, I’m not going to disagree. But what can you do if you are American? :/

It is actually.

Wow what a speck of dust :/

Fucking hell that’s a real pain in the arse solution you have there.

If you have two drives then one will be sda and the other will be sdb. Install Windows first on sda (which will mean the boot sector is on sda) then install linux to sdb.

When you get to the part in the Linux installation process where it asks where you want the boot partition tell it to install on sda.

Then anytime you want to install and try a different distro just install to sdb with the boot sector on sda and grub will always detect and add Windows to the boot menu.

Ran that configuration for 10yrs zero issues.

Mint. Just because it works with zero issues on the desktop. Everything else is either Rocky, RH or Debian.
