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.

Always cool to see it progress!

Rewritten with Flutter

Wasn't it from the start?

I am not sure myself, so the following may be wrong.

In my understanding, the rewrite refers to the RustDesk desktop whose interface appears to have been created with Sciter, which was replaced by Flutter.

That looks right actually, so they had been using Flutter already for mobile and finally decided to align their desktop codebase to it too, makes sense
