This is the package you're looking for. Just drag and drop images into the org mode buffer and you're done. I've been using it for years to take lecture / book notes in org mode where I have to constantly take screenshots and embed them in my notes.

I tried org-download package and while it works with normal org files it doesn't work for org roam files (don't know how since both are just org files), is there a reason for such behavior.

You can absolutely include images in your org, that's standard. You may want to look into org-download to drag and drop images, screenshots etc.

org-download makes drag and drop work :)

This package that OP linked supports inserting images from clipboard and other sources: https://github.com/abo-abo/org-download

I like to insert images in my anki cards with org-download (https://github.com/abo-abo/org-download/). The behavior by default in doom-emacs is

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.
