In recent years, Flutter as a cross platform development kit gained huge popularity across mobile developers. One in public only barely noticed feature : Flutter supports native Linux builds. No JVM, no JavaScript, no Electron. Native binaries.

• (very) short overview of Flutter for Linux developers
• compiling Flutter projects for Linux aarch64
• Flutter as FOSS - a nightmare of BLOBs from Chromium CI - and how to hopefully workaround them
• distribution and packaging
• prospect on goals of freeing Flutter - might contain traces of BSD
