This workflow is tied to KDE Plasma’s tagging feature. Moving away from KDE Plasma would likely mean abandoning parts of this workflow altogether.
It looks like these tags are stored in filesystem xattrs themself, not in dolphin or kde metadata. That is, even if you load up gnome’s file browser, or another file browser, it should still be able to read them.
Nope, it looks like the tags used are KDE specific, even though any software could theoretically implement support for reading and writing them.
Yes, but it looks like the xdg.user.tags and xdg.user.comments are KDE software specific, and not part of the official spec. Meaning other softwarw probably can’t read and interact with those attributss in the same way.
Agree. I think I’m going to add googles open knowledge format frontmatter to my templates. Not a lot of tools for it exist yet, but they’re coming, and it’s literally just a standard header for your markdowns including optional tags

Extended attributes are not KDE specific. KDE just utilize that feature while others just don’t

Ironic. They call it “avoiding vendor lock-in”, yet you end up getting locked into KDE.
More like:

To be honest, I’d rather lock myself in KDE than … Idk, windows or something
