That’s an awful experience. That I’ve had so many times. Adobe InDesign has a bug where sometimes it quietly starts refusing to save. You don’t even know until you open the document back up. And then you have to copy the document over to a new one because that document will never save again.
In Linux, I use Joplin for writing, in part because it autosaves to Dropbox (with other cloud options). It also has thought-organizing features, a bit like BBEdit, but deeper.
