Installed Obsidian in Ubuntu with Snap, Creates Symlinks on First Run and Fails

Question

I recently installed obsidian in WSL ubuntu using snap sudo snap install obsidian --classic. But, when I first run obsidian, it creates recursive symlinks in my user directory and then fails because of those symlinks on later calls. I've deleted the symlinks and ran again but obsidian will still fail with no error message, status code 1. What is going on, and how do I resolve this issue? I could point these symlinks to the respective windows folders, but I don't want to try anything custom until I know what's going on.

What obsidian does on first run:

The symlinks in my user directory:

Then, here is what happens when I delete those links.
