Absolutely love Obsidian but had to stop using it because Electron apps don't play well with Wayland. After lots of tinkering around with flags and settings for compatibility layers, it became obvious that it would never work seamlessly like it did on Windows (and probably does on x11). So it was either give up Wayland compositors or give up Obsidian. Luckily I don't use any plugins, so moving to other software was easy, but I still would prefer Obsidian. Electron's "works everywhere" works about as good as Java's "works everywhere", which is to say it works great, until it doesn't, at which point it's a mess of tinkering.

If you use Wayland and it works for you, that's great, but it's not my experience.

In my experience electron + Wayland was absolutely god awful for a long time, but it got dramatically better in the last 4-5ish months. So depending on when you last tried it, might be worth a revisit. Heavily depends on which GPU+DE though, Nvidia+Plasma here.
