Cool thanks. I get the distinction now. I use Joplin for some of the features mentioned and do like it. Notion sounds pretty neat too.

Can you expand on your last point? Where do we move to from document based software? That seems like a bigger change than the change from typewriter to word processor.

Read through this scroll a little to find your use case, it’s in there. I’m sorry if being suggested to read seems rude or uninviting or something but I really think for this it’d be faster for you to do so. These people’s articles have always helped me and I’ve been using Linux for 20 years. dd stands for data duplicator and I just had to look that up lol.

No guardrails but you have a second to reconsider when typing your password. The other day I used some gui util as sudo and deleted my /bin folder somehow. I would have noticed that in the cli.

I Always use dd for this kind of thing. Others have mentioned some other tools but I have never had any problems with it that I didn’t cause myself.
