Setup Obsidian

First add Flathub repository. Then run:

flatpak install md.obsidian.Obsidian

Wayland support​

Wayland support can be enabled by setting the environment variable OBSIDIAN_USE_WAYLAND=1 either using Flatseal, or the command line, like so:

flatpak override --user --env=OBSIDIAN_USE_WAYLAND=1 md.obsidian.Obsidian

Wayland support can also be temporarily enabled for a single run:

flatpak run --env=OBSIDIAN_USE_WAYLAND=1 md.obsidian.Obsidian

GPU acceleration​

GPU acceleration may need to be disabled to avoid launching with a black window when using Nvidia GPUs:

flatpak override --user --env=OBSIDIAN_DISABLE_GPU=1 md.obsidian.Obsidian

Disabling the GPU sandbox may also be necessary:

flatpak override --user --env=OBSIDIAN_DISABLE_GPU_SANDBOX=1 md.obsidian.Obsidian
