It’s what primarily attracts users to iOS or Android on mobile, and Windows, macOS or Linux on the desktop. So what happened this week between Google and Ubuntu-maker Canonical is a massive step forward in improving the selection of software available on desktop Linux. Google recently touted the fact that more than 80,000 “fast, beautiful Flutter apps” have been published to Google Play, and that an impressive 500,000 developers use Flutter each month. And hopefully in the long run the entire desktop Linux ecosystem will benefit from this. Canonical has published some straightforward instructions on installing the Flutter SDK and deploying Flutter apps to the Snap Store.
