From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No-one has commented on your mentioning VS and Flutter... I haven't used it but I think VS is available for Linux?
I contribute to the Thunder client for Lemmy from my system running EndeavourOS with KDE.
I personally use android studio for this. I hit a pitfall on installing the android, flutter and dart SDKs from the AUR, but that turned out to be the lesser method. It was much easier to just let android studio install them to a folder, and thereby have it manage their versions.
The one downside was having to add their folders to PATH, so terminal commands like adb, dart, emulator, flutter, etc. work, but that's not a big deal.
There is a Flatpak for Android Studio and I had it installed. It likely works very well.
Good!
My main concern would be running terminal commands to control an emulator and dart and flutter commands, but as long as all that can interact correctly, it should serve.
