In this case, it's mostly about the additional perspectives on how learning works from the act of managing your information through various note-taking methods. I also restructured the note on org-babel and moved as its own note on the hierarchical notebook. I think summarizing a tool and giving my own comments about it is a nicer way of describing it. Plus, I can freely link between any other types of note so I figured it would be better. That said, I should be picky on how to make org-roam entries. And also org-roam v2 is better, after all. :)

Types of notes
Linear notes
The "traditional" method for personal note-taking. The notes formed with linear notes tend to be tree-like thus it is useful for ordered information. Useful for initial learning where you want a roadmap of the lesson.
Linear notes also tend to create hierarchy over time. While nice to have, it can also limit the information you can put in each note. Tools like Dendron help with hierarchical notes.
Non-linear notes
While linear notes are great with ordered learning, it is not great with linking the notes. The solution: free the hierarchy.
Non-linear notes free you the worrying where to put the note by removing the structure. This allows to freely make notes and extend in any direction. However, this makes it difficult if you have no idea how to get started. Otherwise, it can take advantage that We are more associative than structured.
One of the notable features of non-linear notes is the freedom to link different topics. This is where non-linear notes like the ones found in Zettelkasten or Roam Research tend to shine because of freedom from hierarchy.
