Having used Flutter extensively since I was first introduced to it 9 months ago, I can say that it is an absolute joy to use and build interfaces with. An easier way to install the Flutter SDK on linux is only good news and I hope it gets more developers to adopt it.

I'm excited to have another contender on multi platform apps space but in the case of Flutter for desktop I just wonder about the RAM consumption compared to Electron.

Microsoft really has to speed up the Xamarin.Forms / Maui development. The omission of Linux is a really a pity.

I am so excited about flutter ecosystem. Hopefully linux gets first class beautiful native apps now. I also hope against hope that qt is officially supported as a backend so KDE is not left out.

I haven’t dug into this, but I wonder what compatibility this will have with window managers, like i3

What is the off chance that Google will drop Flutter?

The future of cross platform desktop development looks bright. Microsoft is coming up with .NET 6 and Google has flutter. I just hope that these frameworks can replace bulky electron apps.

Google needs to release desktop apps in Flutter (Youtube Music, Chat, Meet etc..). a Webapp is fine for occasional use, but Google Chat can't compete with Slack without a real app.
