Flutter on Fedora 36 - Linux compilation not working "unable to load driver: swrast" - linux

Question

when running flutter run to run on linux, a blank page appears with this in the debug console:
Launching lib/main.dart on Linux in debug mode...
libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to open swrast: /lib64/libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_PRIVATE' not found (required by /snap/flutter/current/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/../../../../lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librt.so.1) (search paths :/usr/lib/dri:/snap/flutter/current/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri:, suffix _dri)

The issue is because of the snap install, what worked for me is replacing the snap version with the manual install from github. You can also use the tarball.
git clone https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git -b stable
now to add flutter to path:
sudo gedit ~/.bashrc
Assuming ur flutter install was at /home/user/ add this at the end of the file:
export PATH="$PATH:/flutter/bin"
If ur flutter install is somewhere else then change the directory accordingly
After saving and exiting, refresh ur .bashrc file with:
source ~/.bashrc
Now check if its added to path with:
echo $PATH
If you see a /flutter/bin then ur doing fine. To check if flutter's installed:
flutter --version
To add any missing dependencies (if ur on Fedora) use:
sudo dnf install bash curl file git unzip which xz zip mesa-libGLU clang cmake ninja-build pkg-config gtk3-devel
On Ubuntu based distros it is
sudo apt-get install clang cmake ninja-build pkg-config libgtk-3-dev liblzma-dev
