Johnny Decimal: A System to Organize Projects

There are a couple very barebones wrappers around mv and rm, though they could be better (pass through arguments, etc.).

Files in folders and subfolders. Why are we still stuck in this era?

- TMSU: TMSU lets you tags your files and then access them through a nifty virtual filesystem from any other application.
- Is it possible to "tag" files and folders with various tags like "javascript" or "bash"? Arranging files into tree shaped folder schemas is time intensive and error prone. I'd like to just tag stuff and search by tags instead of browsing by folder

Is there something like org roam but for files?
Checkout https://github.com/oniony/TMSU if it may help. It does not have (bidirectional) links, only tags. Personally, I try to log things I create and search my log file.

Linux Distros Should Implement A Labels/Tags Feature
Tons of programs and different DEs do this already. KDE does this with Dolphin, and check out TMSU. Or just do it yourself with extended attributes which is used by SELinux. It's great that you have this excitement, but Google before you write.
- Is there any way I can tag my files on linux through command line?
-
Flag files/directories somehow
but I would first try https://github.com/oniony/TMSU -- especiall -- the readme says it allows a fuse style mounting of all tagged files, which is pretty cool for what you want, if it works without any gotchas!

Is there a tag based file manager?
TMSU (what some others suggested here) has a feature request for adding support for it...but not implemented yet it seems.

Opportunistic, pragmatic Pop!
Don't underestimate the appeal of small utilities. The elementary appcenter has nice little tools like this or this, and Mint has warpinator. Unity used to have some nice little helpers, too. For instance a HUD. Lets make a list of tools (or browse OMGUbuntu) and pick the top 20. Maybe includin this. Make them available on Pop and make the top 5 part of the default installation.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing TMSU and workspaces you can also consider the following projects:
TagSpaces - TagSpaces is an offline, open source, document manager with tagging support
easyssh - The SSH connection manager to make your life easier.
webdav - Simple Go WebDAV server.
ValaSimpleHTTPServer - Simple HTTP server made in vala
gnome-hud - Unity like HUD menu for the GNOME Desktop Environment using rofi menu.
