Flutter in Ubuntu: What are the next steps?

Thanks for link. Here’s a link directly to Ken VanDine’s section, although for those interested in USING flutter, I recommend watching it all on the link @lucyllewy provided above.

Flutter Engage Keynote: Canonical section notes

  • Want Linux to be a first class attractive choice for Flutter developers
  • Linux desktop app support is in a shape that it can start being used today already with just the basics in place, but this is just the beginning.
  • “Flutter is the default choice for future desktop and mobile apps created by Canonical”

Canonical contributions so far

  • Enabled Flutter for Linux
  • Published Flutter SDK as snap for easy install and setup of dev environment. (for mobile,web,desktop)
  • Published Yaru theming package for desktop theming and consistency
    • Work ongoing

Canonical working on

  • Full Multi-window Support to all platforms Flutter for desktop supports
    • Working with Flutter @ Google on spec, and will start the engineering soon
  • Working on enabling popular plug-in support for Linux/desktop
    • Firebase, Bluetooth, Network Connectivity, Desktop Notifications, and more

Random observations

  • Cool Groovy Gorilla shirt
  • I think I heard him pronounce Ubuntu, “Yoobuhntoo” “Yooboontoo” AND “Oobuhntoo”. I think" Ooboontoo" is correct, but I appreciate the variety to represent more of the viewers :innocent:.
