As of right now, there isn't a way to flash firmware easily with QMK keyboards on Linux, as it requires QMK toolbox.

It's not a bad idea, but this kind of huge project gets done when someone shows up with a patch in hand.

I think this is going to fall under the umbrella of https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting#Step_1:_Make_sure_it's_a_valid_bug_or_feature_request, specifically "over-broad requests for giant changes to everything or new features with a massive scope" :)
