Crash on startup with OBSIDIAN_USE_WAYLAND=1

[byronclark]

Version: 0.13.30
Platform: Fedora 35

When setting OBSIDIAN_USE_WAYLAND=1 via flatseal, Obsidian crashes on startup with a SIGSEGV.
Setting OBSIDIAN_USE_WAYLAND=0 resolves the issue by launching with Xwayland.

It looks like this may come from the Electron 16 upgrade and be caused by electron/electron#32487

More likely related to electron/electron#32436 (comment)

Temporary workaround: downgrade to the latest working version.

sudo flatpak update --commit=d7a571984f74af5e16b90197dab8003f79af1c0c91dd70a8a0c9f535f3510a68 md.obsidian.Obsidian

Same issue is happening to me. I just tried the AppImage as well, which is experiencing the same issue. When it launches, I note that its actually using a separately downloaded code package "/.config/obsidian/obsidian-0.13.33.asar" when it starts which is why downgrading as suggested above didn't immediately work for me.
