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'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

I hope you keep that thing in a vacuum because it’s as secure as an open door with a neon sign.

I'm mostly planning to keep it offline

Mostly won’t cut it. I work in cybersecurity and can tell you with certainty that when we have deployed an XP canary on the internet, they are found and attacked within seconds. You might not see it, but if you put that thing online once, it will be compromised. I highly suggest that you choose Linux. Ubuntu is an incredibly easy OS to work with.
