Zero-to-Emacs-and-Org-roam VS md-roam

Alternatively, I have had success with this way https://github.com/nobiot/Zero-to-Emacs-and-Org-roam/blob/v1/100.pdf-tools-org-noter.md

Have you seen this? https://github.com/nobiot/Zero-to-Emacs-and-Org-roam It's still a work-in-progress but it may be along the lines of what you're looking for.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend setting up org-roam at first. It's excellent, but it's just going to be too daunting for a beginner when combined with all the other things. I'd start by just learning emacs and org-mode. Core org-mode has enough functionality built-in to start building knowledgebases, and the org-mode manual is excellent. You can add-in org-roam later. (And you might find that org-roam is overkill and something like howm mode to get backlinks is enough.) The beauty of emacs is that you can move your notes from one system to another easily.

I'm new to org-roam and trying to use v2 directly. My process is currently looking at the excellent manual (https://www.orgroam.com/manual.html) and intro (https://github.com/nobiot/Zero-to-Emacs-and-Org-roam) for v1 and trying to map these to v2. But as I managed to install org-roam and emacsql-sqlite3 in Android/Termux just yesterday evening, I can't say if it's useable enough.

For Windows, I have done this. So far, it works really well

My primary goal is to keep notes organized, portable and "connected" using Emacs, so focus is still on it and in few days I think I will have my favorite setup using Emacs + Org + roam. In the process I discovered Zero-to-Emacs-and-Org-roam - kudos to the creator - really helped me.

I was also taking a look at https://github.com/nobiot/md-roam to make org-roam work with markdowns

Maybe nobiot/md-roam: Use Org-roam with markdown files by adding Md-roam as a plug-in. Mix and match org and markdown files.?

Could something like org-roam be implemented without external database? Yes and I think that that few projects were already shared here on /r/emacs last years doing exactly that. The thing is that on the same amount of data it will be slower then org-roam (I don't have benchmarks, just my assumption based on my experience) and using markdown files instead of org mode files (md-roam) would not be possible.
