Yes in Trilium Notes, you can take notes as other alternatives, but not quite fit in the same categories as other note taking alternatives. Trilium Notes fit more in the "Personal Knowledeg Base"
Trilium Notes is a hierarchical and wiki style notes, where you have relational map, link between nodes, attributes, graph render (like pay chart), tracker, notes by date like a journal, calendar, todo list, task manager, embedded pdf viewer, code syntax highlighting, you can include pictures, photo album, note versioning, note encryption, scripting, Web clipper, etc
Yes it have a lot of features, so not try to compare with other note applications like turtl, joplin, google keep, some alternative will be notion, evernote, cherrytree, remnote, don't know other alternatives... you can almost write and management everything in Trilium. Keen in mind at the moment of this review 0.43.3, is the last release (Release today btw) and is under heavy development.
Doesn't have a mobile app, but it seems you can self-hosted and use the web version in the mobile app. I not tried it myself.
You need to use Trilium and read the documentation to know how to use it. Is not for just "taking notes"

This is open source and free.
Like S/W, built with an Electron engine, the first experience is not good (such as many memory usage, dull UI response speeds, etc.)
This manipulates the reference between notes with some scripts and attributes to overcome the limitations of the tree structure of the data. One note can be cloned into another folder.
The learning curve is slightly higher in the middle, but there is no problem with simple text editing.
There is a reliable browser extension that allows you to capture a web page.
The text editor is Rich Text, but many features are hidden or omitted.
It is still in the developing stage and is worth considering.
But I hesitated to use it because I doubted whether it was capable of enduring a huge database.
I'm testing right now, and what I see it use a database in sqlite, so I presume if exists some kind of limitation, must not be from the sqlite database, that support 140 terabytes in size.

Much like Obsidian, Trilium is essentially a database note taking app, with some seriously impressive plugins.
Cool idea and some nifty ideas the other note apps don't have, but also buggy. Went to export and nothing happens, no error, just, nothing. Also isn't portable and dumps everything to the system directory, which is undesirable.
Looks very cool but since I can't edit notes without being connected to the internet on my phone (and have them synced when I do have internet), I'll have to stick to locally stored notes.
