Ideas for GUI libraries?
For years I had Qt experience in Python and C++. But I found it too heavy to introduce in a Go project. After trying a couple different options (I'm not a web dev) I actually really liked IUP. https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go

IUP – Cross platform C GUI library
You can check the screenshot from Windows 10 here https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go/blob/main/examples/sampl.... If you are not using the manifest it will not follow the system appearance and will always look like Windows XP Classic.

bindings to GTK or QT
I've tried a few different Go gui solutions so far. Coming from a C++/Python Qt background, I wanted to use Qt bindings but found them to be a bit too heavy as a dependency in Go. And I'm not a skilled web dev so some of the other options didn't suit me well enough. But I did actually enjoy using this in a recent project: https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go

Are there any cross-platform GUI frameworks programmable with Go which you’d recommend?
That depends on your requirements. I'm currently using IUP for a desktop app (Linux and WIndows). Caveats:

Go GUI with access to filesystem... Best approach?
For native UI, you can check https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go. There are 50+ examples to help you, i.e. show images, buttons, file dialogs, etc.

What makes Go unsuitable for UI development?
You can check https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go. The Cocoa backend is still not finished but it works for basic UI. There is GLCanvas for Linux and Windows.

The Linux GUI toolkit situation, or why Electron (or similar) is sadly the future.
I recently created a Go binding here https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go and was amazed how simple API is, thanks to their attribute system. Although they have some controls that are custom, everything else is native. Compared to Qt or wxWidgets, IUP is just a UI toolkit, Qt/wxWidgets is much more than just a UI toolkit.

Operating System Wars, what is the best operating system for programming. ⚔️
Back in the day, I used snapd, which is similar to Mac's Homebrew.

Tools for Linux Distro Hoppers
Hopping from one distro to another with a different package manager might require some time to adapt. Using a package manager that can be installed on most distro is one way to help you get to work faster. Flatpak is one of them; other alternative are Snap, Nix or Homebrew. Flatpak is a good starter, and if you have a bunch of free time, I suggest trying Nix.

Setting Up for Java on Linux.
My personal favourite IDE for java is Intellej Idea. Apart from not demanding the extra extension, It was designed special for Java and Java related languages so it runs java smoothly with great compilation time. so lets install it. Make sure you have snap before installing it

Why is Linux so hard and anti GUI?
Linux Mints App Store is full of GUI programs, Snap Store ist full of it, Flathub is full of it.

This might seem dumb but where tf does snap put the actual files and stuff?
You are being lazy. But I recommend bringing your ass directly to snapcraft.io and reading those documents in the Learn section!!

Flutter 3 on Devuan 4: Getting started
Besides, there may be other ways to install them, although there doesn't seem no such Flatpak packages in Flathub. For example, some senerio to use some release channel or Docker / Podman. Additionally, when you use a different Linux distro where systemd is adopted and therefore can do Snaps (Snapd), you have another possibility.
