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If so, it seems that the README's supported platforms table may be outdated.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!

Research direction

Compare the README's Supported platforms table with the rive_native platform-support page and the Linux-related section of CHANGELOG.md. Confirm the project's official Linux support status with maintainers, then update the README table or clarify the limitation so it matches the supported behavior.
