  Ugh, thanks. Canonical can't seem to escape bad strategic and technical decisions. They're still pushing Snaps, and now settling on a default tech stack that might disappear whenever Google gets bored of it.

    Google is also making Flutter the de facto UI solution in their upcoming Fuchsia general purpose OS. It also is powering their single biggest money maker (Ads). It’s an absolutely core part of their future strategy with almost zero chance of disappearing like you described. I imagine Canonical also got the same assurances in writing before making that decision.

      You might be right, but Google choosing to use it in Fuchsia doesn't inspire much confidence, given Fuchsia's rocky and lengthy development. I wouldn't be surprised if Fuchsia itself is abandoned, given Google's track record. I wouldn't quite be sure it has an "almost zero chance of disappearing", but hopefully Canonical has done their due diligence before making such a decision, as you say. Though, even if it does become a long-term Google project, I'd be concerned that any Flutter app on Ubuntu would have aggressive tracking. Considering their announcement of integration with FlutterFire Auth, it's only a matter of time before something like Google Play Services makes its way into desktop apps as well. Canonical's record of protecting user privacy is already far from stellar.
