Obsidian

Obsidian is a personal knowledge base and note-taking program that works with Markdown files. Users can create internal links to notes and visualize these relationships as a graph. Obsidian is designed to help the user organize and structure thoughts and knowledge in a flexible, non-linear way. Obsidian supports CommonMark and GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM), as well as other useful features: tags, LaTeX math expressions, mermaid diagrams, footnotes, internal links, and embedding notes or external files. Obsidian has a system of plugins to expand functionality.

Installation using Flatpak

Use packages and instructions only at your own risk. Packages are built locally, so check the source code and build scripts.

Installation using epm play Unofficial build

If you have the eepm package, you can install Obsidian with one command:

epm play obsidian

Running Obsidian in a Wayland windowed interface

To launch Obsidian through a terminal, specify the following launch options:

flatpak

flatpak run md.obsidian.Obsidian --ozone-platform-hint=auto

epm play

obsidian --ozone-platform-hint=auto

Внимание

When running the Flatpak version, make sure it can run using the Wayland graphical protocol. One of the most convenient verification options is the Flatseal program

By default, launching in the Wayland windowed interface is prohibited. To run through it, enable the following items:

• Wayland window system
• Revert to X11 windowing system

An alternative environment setting is the terminal:

flatpak override --user md.obsidian.Obsidian --socket=wayland --socket=fallback-x11

To run the application in the GNOME environment and ease of setup, it is recommended to install the PinApp application, select the Obsidian application, make a Pin and enter the following parameters in the Exec field:

flatpak

/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=obsidian.sh --file-forwarding md.obsidian.Obsidian @@u %U @@ // [!code --]
/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=obsidian.sh --file-forwarding md.obsidian.Obsidian --ozone-platform-hint=auto @@u %U @@ // [!code ++]

epm play

obsidian %U // [!code --]
obsidian --ozone-platform-hint=auto %U // [!code ++]

Hardware acceleration:

To avoid graphical errors at startup, hardware acceleration must be disabled.

For Flatpak version you need to add a variable with the value --env=OBSIDIAN_DISABLE_GPU=1:

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

For the epm version you need to add a variable with the value OBSIDIAN_DISABLE_GPU=1. For example, via ./bashrc:

cat << _EOF_ >> ~/.bashrc
# Disable GPU for obsidian
export OBSIDIAN_DISABLE_GPU=1
_EOF_
