I've been using Flutter at work for the past month, having used Ionic before (cross-platform but non-native experience), and I'm liking it so far.

If your goal is to play around with code, learn and have fun, I would say give Flutter a try.

It won't lock you out of publishing on F-Droid or anywhere else as far as I understand. And you if you just want to play around you can install your apps directly to your phone with no platform whatsoever.

Since you mention you don't have much programming experience, I would recommend doing some course at Udemy such as this[0], and decide by yourself if Flutter is fun enough - for me it is. But please, don't buy the course at the overpriced tag, don't pay more than 10-15$ for one of those.
