I am one of those users. I use wordpad for prepping my DnD games. MS Office is beyond bloated and slows my pc to a crawl when it's open. Same with Open Office and LibreOffice if I'm honest. Both hog too many resources.

Guess I'm moving over to Obsidian full time.

Notepad++ is also pretty nice

But it doesn't do what WordPad does.

Sounds like you need a new pc…

True but I also need food more.

Have you ever tried abiword? It's really lightweight.

I have not. Haven't even heard of it. But I will be looking into it. Thank you!
