I experienced the very same issue as @obadiahcruz
Something awful must happen behind the scenes to crash my MacPro. Iāve enough capacity on my system to run everything I want, smoothly and stable
I didnāt have Kernel Panics for ages, this makes me feel very bitter - Obsidian is awesome but Iām not too excited about its framework, Java and electron, chromium. Today many browsers use chromium but apparently many apps as well (apple store)
So Iām adding my 2 cents to this topic, and not by summarizing what others say to put myself at the center. Let me explain why I wrote what I wrote previously :
I added Plugins, because Plugins extend Obsidians code adding to a potential vulnerability, electron because the problems with electron arenāt isolated, also sleep mode, because I had a violent double shutdown KP whilst waking up my computer and working with Obsidian, themes because they interact with draw processes which might conflict, especially if the theme is malformed
I code myself for a decade already but only in ObjC, applescript and bash shell, in future Iāll learn Kotlin.
Sometimes little code corrections adjust everything bad, and you forget you ever had some problems with your code.
Obsidian keeps running 3 or 4 additional helpers in the background. Do they interact only with the gpu or more? What happens all in the background?
The graph in Obsidian is very resource intensive but we donāt use it to work, just to explore and we donāt look at it all timesā¦
If you start to limit a process to the bone, you learn very quickly how to prevent any crashes. I would prefer if Obsidian would get a mechanism to quit itself before to cause any harm to my system.
KP are not the problem if isolated, but canāt be a constant. From the videos seen and the discussions online I know the user base of Obsidian who uses Mac isnāt a small percentage.
Because getting KP isnāt working, itās just a mess. And with mess I donāt wanna insult anyone working on the code of Obsidian. Otherwise, I wouldnāt take the time to write my post.
I also donāt want to try with Notion because it uses electron as well. Obsidian is awesome, but letās remove this KP for good
