2nd brain is just scam marketing terminology to sell you a cloud service of some kind cause "oh no anon, your notes have to be everywhere!! Its not really a second brain if its not in the cloud silly!"
How dare I not have access to my knowledge on the bus or my laptop!
It's also a scam because its not really a "brain" , brain implies Cognition whereas something like PARA or Code in Tiago forte's second brain shit is really just archival type storage that's categorized in a slightly more obvious/mentally friendly way - ie memory.
Setting up a second brain basically sets up a virtual notebook , and if u tag all your shit nicely , maybe it will save you like 5 minutes that one time at the end of the term you need to gather all your info at once to study (though u should be doing that as you went along)

Obsidian is perfect for you if u aren't a techie, just turn off a bunch of the core features and keep it simple and focused, don't get bogged down in the autism here.
