What This Skill Does

Walks through setting up a Linux machine for Flutter desktop development. Covers installing system dependencies like clang, cmake, and GTK libraries on Debian/Ubuntu, validating the toolchain with flutter doctor, and packaging apps as Snaps via Snapcraft. Linux Flutter setup requires a specific set of system packages and build tools that vary by distro, and this skill lists the exact apt packages and validation steps so you don't have to piece it together from scattered docs.
