My experience with Linux dates back to around 2002. That's when I started dualbooting, and ended up spending more time in Linux than Windows. I really liked Mandrake especially, and LOVE GNU Emacs. Sadly, as time went on, my declining motor skills meant I was making more and more use of Dragon NaturallySpeaking, and to this day, there is no FOSS equivalent that is anywhere near as good - I know because I keep monitoring that situation.

Add to that the fact that an app I use every single day more than any others is very much Windows only (as with Dragon, the WINE forums are full of records of failed attempts to get it working there) and Linux is not an option for me. Setting up a VM or WSL just to run KOReader desktop to enable setting up ANOTHER app to then enable ANOTHER app for sharing notes would indeed be a veryy Rube Goldbergesque kind of solution.
