Y.
Expected result
Obsidian should work.
Actual result
Obsidian doesn’t start. Even on empty vault. Instead it shows error: “An error occurred while loading Obsidian. Error: ENOSPC: System lmit for number of file watchers reached”
Environment
$ ./Obsidian-1.7.7.AppImage

No command line or debug info can be opened because the app won’t start.
Additional information
The original vault with settings and all (.deb version):
Fresh installation with flatpak (system app market):
Fresh installation with test vault and AppImage version:
Right now I cannot use Obsidian on Linux at all.
Also tested versions 1.7.6 and 1.7.5. Same result. But for some reason command line shows “Latest version is 1.7.7” and “App is up to date.” so maybe those self-upgraded.
