Note taking (alien.top)

I looking to migrate to emacs (running under WSL) for note taking. Currently I am using notepad++ as it lets me have multiple scratch buffers that will persist. That is I wanting buffers that I don't have to name or explicitly save that will still be there if emacs (or computer itself) are restarted.

The scratch buffer in Emacs disappears after shutdown, but there is a package to fix this issue.

Came across this series of articles recently about configuring emacs specifically for note taking. Haven’t made my way through them all yet, but maybe you will find this interesting https://lucidmanager.org/tags/emacs/
