As is seen in this bug, hardware acceleration also causes problems under certain Linux environments.
Seeing that hardware acceleration is apparently causing recurring problems for some users, a simple solution would be to add a setting option to disable hardware accelereation, so users are not left to either open Obsidian only from the command line or to manually edit their Obsidian.desktop file, which some may not even know how to locate.
A simple and unobtrusive solution that people who do not need it can easily dismiss. I know that the Slack desktop app has such a setting.
