Thanks for the great writeup. Can you clarify if Flutter is like QT in that it uses its own GUI library to emulates the native UI of the OS, or does it actually render the UI using the native OS UI library?

It draws every pixel, like a 2d game engine. There's Ubuntu package for their Yaru style. https://pub.dev/packages/yaru
Flutter provides its own widget implementations and does not rely on those provided by the underlying OS. This gives us the ability to give you complete control over scrolling, animation, theming, etc. while still running at native speeds across multiple platforms.
