Describe the problem
While it's semi-reasonable that someone on Arch Linux will know how to use Pacman and find packages themselves, Mint
and Cinnamon
are beginner friendly distros as well. It doesn't reflect well on the Flutter community/Google to be so imprecise when talking table stakes things like setup.
I'm sure there are enough technical contributors using different distros of Linux to replace hard-coded sudo apt-get
Debian/Ubuntu instructions with "Use your distribution's package manager" and make a little table of what the dependencies are called in each repo.
(Or develop some Snaps/Flatpacks and point the instructions there)
Expected fix
Install the following packages: curl, git, unzip, xz-utils, zip, libglu1-mesa
On Debian/Ubunutu:
sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get upgrade -y;
sudo apt-get install -y curl git unzip xz-utils zip libglu1-mesa
On Arch Linux/Mint:
pacman -Syu curl git unzip xz zip glu
