In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of installing Obsidian on Deepin 23. Obsidian is a powerful knowledge base that works on top of a local folder of plain text Markdown files, making it an excellent tool for note-taking, research, and personal knowledge management.

What is Obsidian?

Obsidian is a flexible and extensible note-taking application that allows you to create a network of interconnected notes. It's particularly popular among researchers, writers, and students due to its robust feature set and customizable nature.

Installation Process

We'll be using Flatpak to install Obsidian. Flatpak is a next-generation technology for building and distributing desktop applications on Linux. Here's why we're using Flatpak:

• It allows for easy installation of applications across different Linux distributions
• Applications installed via Flatpak are sandboxed, providing an extra layer of security
• Flatpak ensures that you always have the latest version of the application

Let's begin the installation process:

Step 1: Install Flatpak

First, we need to install Flatpak on your Deepin 23 system. Open your terminal and run the following command:

sudo apt install flatpak

Step 2: Add Flathub Repository

Next, we'll add the Flathub repository, which is the primary source of applications for Flatpak:

sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Step 3: Install Obsidian

Now that we have Flatpak set up, we can install Obsidian:

sudo flatpak install flathub md.obsidian.Obsidian

Step 4: Restart Your Computer

After installation, it's recommended to restart your computer to ensure all changes take effect properly.

Step 5: Launch Obsidian

Once your computer has restarted, you can launch Obsidian from your application menu or by using the command line.
