This is all well and good but most notably, Flutter is a truly cross-platform tool and is open source. And by the same reasoning, proper integration will be taken care of. Flutter has better performance than alternatives such as Electron and while it isn’t as performant as native development platforms, it does so well that the ability to develop for multiple platforms and across operating systems outweighs the difference. So a Flutter app built for Ubuntu can use a collection of widgets modelled purposefully after native Ubuntu desktop designs. Flutter even allows developers to use web styles that can ‘mimic’ the UI of the system. Given that Canonical is going to be making applications for Ubuntu you can count on us putting work into making sure Flutter apps ‘look right’ in the Desktop. Canonical’s work here meets all of these criteria. Typically, for the desktop, you want to optimise your app to ‘look right’ with the underlying OS, for performance, and for proper integration with OS features and capabilities. There are of course numerous options when it comes to developing new apps. Now, as of Ken’s words at Flutter Engage, and our involvement in the event, we are making sure Flutter is a first-class experience and stays high on our list of platforms for consideration when designing future mobile and desktop apps. This came out of a desire to deliver a refreshed installer experience across all of Canonicals products and, after some deliberation, Flutter was chosen to be the best option. Well, in February 2021, we announced that the installer would be refreshed and it was being made with Flutter. In that list, you’ll see that in August of 2020 the team started to discuss building a new Ubuntu installer, and Flutter was on the list of possibilities.

You’ll find a full list of updates about their work in the team’s weekly discourse posts as far back as April.
From there, Ubuntu Desktop engineers hit the ground running.
This was the first step towards Flutter being available for Linux through their alpha release. Flutter and Ubuntu, Ubuntu and Flutterīack in July 2020, we (Canonical along with Google’s Flutter folks) announced support for the Flutter app ecosystem. We thought we’d take this opportunity to talk about what all this means and why we’re doing it. Canonical has been working to support Flutter for some time now, bringing the SDK to Linux, committing to build a new Ubuntu installer, and now, making Flutter the default choice for future Canonical mobile and desktop apps. At Flutter Engage, Ken VanDine, engineering manager for the Ubuntu desktop, made an appearance in the keynote speech to talk about Flutter on Ubuntu.
