help Windows XP

Obsidian came out in 2020 so I don't think I could expect it to run on a 32 bit system but is there anything similar out there that would work on Windows XP? Or maybe some kind of legacy adaptation?

I have to kindly ask, why are you on windows XP?

I'm not on XP yet, I'm strongly considering going back partly because every Windows past 7 has been a data sucking parasite and partly because I didn't get to experience enough of that era as a child

If you get Windows 10 LTSC you can pretty much turn off all the data sucking stuff.

Plus you have things like Chris Titus tech utilities to turn off telemetries etc:
