Not too far ago, I invested several days into "mastering" and tuning TiddlyWiki. It was an interesting experience. I loved it on the whole and felt very enthusiastic about using it store all my knowledge. It's super flexible and use of tags, filters and macros make it unique. However, it's a bit complicated for mass adoption. Also, the extended use of its powerful features may make your computer tangibly slow.
That's why I found "Obsidian", that's what I'm using today to store my knowledge.

If we forego human read-write-ability to gain some interactivity, we got https://tiddlywiki.com/ , a single long html file. - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago

I use TiddlyWiki. It's a portable editable wiki that doesn't require a web server or web hosting. You open it from your computer, edit it, and save it. You get all of the linking that you'd expect to see in a wiki, and it's super readable and easy to use. Source: 6 months ago
Hopefully, this will make it much easier for software like tiddlywiki [1] where the idea is to be as self-contained as possible. It has depended on various mechanisms to save changes to disk, but this may lower the threshold to use it and feel more streamlined [1] https://tiddlywiki.com. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
And fantasia Archive ( https://fantasiaarchive.com/ ) to structure the rest and organize the worldbiilding and the adventures. If you want to integrate images to fatasia archive, you must use online hosting (imgur the best). And go on the discord, there is a command pinned (it just an html image reference) to link your images. The underlining code of Fantasia archive is in markdown but there is a WYSIWYG editor....

If you don't like this method, there are other technological alternatives. Some are online (and have small prices) like World Anvil, Campfire, Inkarnate (not a writing tool, but it's a crazy good mapmaking tool). If you don't want something online with a pricetag, try Fantasia Archive, which is free and not online. It's not as good as the online tools, but it's still great. I've been trying it for some weeks now... Source: over 1 year ago
I had been using Fantasia Archive, but updates have unfortunately been very slow over the last couple years, and I was already thinking about jumping ship. This might be a good chance to do so. 🤔. Source: over 1 year ago

Both Fantasia Archive and World Maker are downloadable, free, open source projects (I haven't actually used either, but they look decent). Obsidian is also a decent free option for a desktop/personal wiki, though not worldbuilding specific. There's a guide to using it as a GM tool, which is similar to worldbuilding.
