Description
I have a question regarding Linux support for rive-flutter.
In the README under "Supported platforms":
https://github.com/rive-app/rive-flutter?tab=readme-ov-file#supported-platforms
Linux is marked as not supported (❌).
However, the rive_native package lists Linux as supported:
https://pub.dev/packages/rive_native#platform-support
Additionally, the CHANGELOG mentions Linux support under build & platform updates:
https://github.com/rive-app/rive-flutter/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#build--platform-updates-4
I have also tested Rive on Linux locally, and it appears to work correctly.
Question
Is Linux officially supported for rive-flutter?
If so, it seems that the README's supported platforms table may be outdated.
Could you please clarify whether this is intentional, or if the documentation needs updating?
Thank you for your great work on Rive!
