An fs that uses (multiple) tags for files, instead of a tree. They are stored on disk in random places either way and tooling uses mime/magic bits.
/etc/hosts would be something like system, network, hosts. Your uncles birthday photo something like uncle, max, birthday, 2022, burnt sushi instead of ~/photos/birthday-max/bdmax_101(5).jpg storing meta tags.
Nobody wants to develop a tag-based filesystem?
Developing it would be way above my skills but I’ve been fantasising about it for a long time. https://lemmy.world/comment/14344097
Same. I think it would be more friendly for end-users too.
Just sounds messy and impractical
