Update installation instructions for Chromebooks #748

Closed seren closed 2 weeks ago

seren commented 3 months ago

On Chromebooks, the linux installation (Debian bullseye) does not include the libnss3.so shared library, which results in the following error when trying to launch the AppImage version of Obsidian:

error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Installing the libnss3-dev package (sudo apt install libnss3-dev) resolves this.

This has been an issue for almost 4 years at this point (see forum post), so it should be documented IMO.

I'm not sure the formatting/style of the note is the best, so feel free to change it.

Thank you for this, I think it will be an appropriate enough add since after looking, this is something that catches people a lot.
