Best knowledge database for an Emacs Org-Mode "expat"

I'm running Windows 10 now, and I understand I can still use Emacs, but I'm seizing the opportunity to give it a shot to other tools. In part because I'm not sure how "native" my Emacs setup would feel on Windows, but also because I reached a point of "tinkering fatigue" and I want things that require less maintenance.

I used Org Mode a lot and was thinking if there is something with a similar feel that is more plug-and-play. Programs like Notion, Obsidian, and Roam Research are like that, I think.

These are some of my requisites:

FOSS

markdown or org markup

I don't wanna pay for anything, ever

plug and play

text-based

easy export and backup

keyboard-centric or keyboard-friendly

can be used offline

local database can be synced using Dropbox

Emacs-like and/or Vim-like keybindings
