@ -25,6 +25,7 @@ More detailed answer:
* [[clones|cloning notes]] are what you might call "hard directory link" in filesystem lingo, but this concept is not implemented in any filesystem
* filesystems make a distinction between directory and file while there's intentionally no such difference in Trilium
* files are stored in no particular order and user can't change this
* Trilium allows storing note [[attributes]] which could be represented in extended user attributes but their support differs greatly among different filesystems / operating systems
* Trilium makes links / relations between different notes which can be quickly retrieved / navigated (e.g. for [[link map]]). There's no such support in file systems which means these would have to be stored in some kind of side car files (mini-databases).
* Filesystems are generally not transactional. While this is not completely required for a note taking application, having transactions make it way easier to keep notes and their metadata in predictable and consistent state.
