No Flutter on Linux desktop
Flutter is gaining serious traction because it relatively sane and *works well* in iOS, Android and (I think )Mac and Windows. You can actually make an application that looks decent and isn&#x27;t a pile of shoehorned libs with an HTML engine.<p>I lost years waiting to have a decent way to develop desktop applications for Linux. After 20 years no one could get their shit together and both Mac and Windows ( yes, even Windows ) always had vastly superior desktop toolkits AND sane ways to package and deliver them to the mere mortals. Even when Microsoft seemed to fuck up everything they touched, Linux couldn&#x27;t get their shit together.<p>There are many reasons for this and the other 2 had money to throw at this like it was free, BUT the Linux community never proved they can deliver a product, which in this case the customers were developers that have a job to do. A lot of lectures, morals and programing tricks, but never a product to be used by others. ( I&#x27;m talking exclusively about GUI toolkits here )<p>It&#x27;s simply not in their nature and it&#x27;s OK, but don&#x27;t cry about when some evil conglomerate rolls up in town and gets all the action.
