Start with the Repository constructor and follow the NativeMethods.InitializeNativeLibrary() path shown in the stack trace, reproducing on Linux Mint with .NET 6 and the listed LibGit2Sharp versions. Investigate why the git2-106a5f2 shared library cannot be loaded; done means the provided Repository creation no longer crashes on the reported environment.
