I prefer skiff.com for email and drive rather proton the days.

Have looked at dual boot before but it seemed like a ( admittedly fairly minor) pita. File sharing/ access across both systems is my main concern. Thanks for your response.

Nice, i will take a look at this. With virtualization are both OS able to share files/ access the same files?

In line with many folks’ suggestions here, I’m ALL for switching to Linux full time after playing around with a few distros… BUT, I use dxo Photolab for photo editing which doesn’t run on Linux, yes, even through wine etc.

Also yes, I know the are a bunch of great Foss alternatives. I’ve tried them all. Nothing touches the results from my current program unfortunately.

I would be stoked if anyone could enlighten me as to how I could get that working.

Regardless, i could not get on with SN. Have found Joplin and Notesnook both to be superior.
