I recently decided to switch from W10 to GNU/Linux, and yes still a Linux noob.

So which is the most recommended way to install flutter on Linux?, a way which won't get me troubles in the future when I try to update flutter.

Right now I only now this three ways, which one is the best option? (you're free to tell me is there is another and better option)

  • Install Flutter using snapcraft (snapd)
  • Install Flutter manually with github repo or tar
  • Install Flutter using yay (Arch-based distros only)

I really don't know anything about flutter in GNU/Linux so, I'd appreciate any opinion and advice. Thank you in advance.

The best and most stable for me was manually, but not from gitHub, by using tar. SnapD caused errors, but using .tar has been fine for 5 months now. Updating easily and seamlessly. As you may have seen, but follow the documentation here step by step will work fine. https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install/linux If you have trouble exporting the path, come back for further help.
