Working on an ancient Mac Book Pro OS Catalina 10.15.7.
All I want to do is download and start using Obsidian 1.7.7. (Supposedly last supported version) to use for a project sent to me…
…I obviously need a new computer.
This?
Not really.

I’ve used the precursor of this project, which worked incredibly well, meanwhile this project improved a lot since then. I recommend, but don’t guarantee anything and leave you the final decision.

GitHub has a lot of advertisements that are scams. I don’t relish downloads from there. I was hoping there was a means to download direct from Obsidian.
That is the official release channel, direct from Obsidian. You can see in the image below that all downloads are via GitHub.
That’s Obsidian’s official GitHub account, so I think it’s pretty reliable.
