Which version of Obsidian?

Which installer version?

Sure you haven’t installed iOS Obsidian on your lovely M1?

That was my fear but good news is that this is user-error (fastest to fix usually). I haven’t installed Obsidian on a new computer in a while and forgot about the crucial setting About > Override config folder that isn’t set by default.

Changing that to .obsidian.desktop “fixed” the issue.
