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

For example, I don't know what "vertico, consult, embark, marginalia, and orderless" is exactly, they're not part of my setup and I guess I don't want them to interfere with it.

You can find further optimizations on https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org when searching for "mode-line".

You're looking for org-expiry and its (org-expiry-insinuate) as you can see in my config: https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org

You don't have to repeat yourself; it is more about how you write. Literate programming lets you mix different languages as well as text and the code. Check for example Karl Voits. The only remark I can make is that some defvars don't need the comments, since they are written as self-documenting code. For example, 'large-file-warning-threshold' certainly does not need a comment which basically repeats what the name says, but that is not so unusual to see even amongst programmers sometimes.

For the very same reason, I started to use hydras: https://github.com/abo-abo/hydra - see my config at https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org

The same configuration using Emacs 27.1 also does not have this weird behavior.

Maybe somebody has an idea what I might change in my large setup in order to get rid of this issue ...

For linking to contacts, I started to use a custom link contact: which I don't use any more since I've found org-super-links which enables me to link to any heading quite fine including contacts.

My personal notes on any task or project are way more verbose than the information curated in shared business environments. I therefore invest work and keep a local Orgdown structure and sync a subset of information manually. I define custom links to Jira, emails, and all other external sources to keep links from my Orgdown files to everything else. This way, my only truth is within my personal knowledge management which simplifies search.

My personal approach is a static list of Orgdown files within a single directory (with very few exceptions) and a manually curated list of agenda files.
