I needed to fix the problem of my Flutter app freezing under Linux Mint Cinnamon. I thought it was an old version problem, so went through several upgrade cycles to current. Still there. Then I saw the update to the issue. The problem seems to be a hiccup with the onscreen keyboard. Disable that under accessibility options and everything "just worked". It has to get fixed obviously since some people need the on screen keyboard, but if you were plagued by this issue under Linux Mint running the Cinnamon desktop that is the solution. #programming #flutter #DartLang #linux #LinuxMint github.com/flutter/flutter/iss…

@Tom Grzybow I waited a bit too long on this one. Linux Mint 20 was going out of support in April. So I was going to have to update it in the next few months anyway. I decided to go all the way to Linux Mint 22 that was released this summer. The great thing about Linux is how far back the hardware support goes. Machines that Apple stopped supported, like my 2011 MacBook Air, or Microsoft did with Windows 11 run Linux perfectly fine still and will for a long time to come :).
