kirk781Linux is the reason Windows apps are bloated these days
MoogleMaestroElectron is the only cross platform gui toolkit…
If you ignore QT, GTK and everything else.
I’m so glad that Microsoft makes an awesome cross platfor— wait, no, but they contribute code to— hmmm … Hey, what does Microsoft do to make apps more portable again?

.net cli apps are cross platform and can be portable :p
Gui in .net isnt fully cross platform ( maui is everything except linux ) but frameworks like avalonia and imgui fix all that :')

klangcolaThanks for reminding me why Maui doesn’t support Linux. I saw Maui mentioned in an earlier comment and was naffled why KDE would make something not working that doesn’t work in Linux.
It’s because Microsoft stole the Maui name from KDE:

Microsoft And A KDE Project Spar Over "MAUI"
A few years ago it was GNOME developers frustrated with Microsoft over naming a project GVFS (later renamed to Virtual File System for Git) as it collided with their GVFS (GNOME Virtual File-System) while now there is a similar situation brewing between Microsoft and KDE camps.
mittorn@DacoTaco @MoogleMaestro there is a port of mono winforms implementation to modern dotnet and it's really works:

Winforms of all things haha. Eeuw xD
But thats flipping awesome! I know xamarin was wpf being cross platform with mono, but thats a dead horse thanks to microsoft haha

@DacoTaco Yes, it's Microsoft decided to kill classic win32 widgets and any XAML support in Mono, forcing new WinRT platform and not providing any GUI support in netcore. It's sad that nobody made some crossplatform WPF implementation for modern dotnet, Maui is not incompatible with existing source code, IIRC

That’s basically Avalonia UI. I believe Uno Platform is similar, but less of a WPF variant, and closer to Xamarin or MAUI in the style of Xaml that they use.

>That’s basically Avalonia UI.
no, avalonia cannot help you run existing applications. Also. Avalonia is a crap, taking minutes to parse xml crap on poor hardware
Yes, there are many implementaion of WPF-like UI, but no implementation of existing Windows UI.
mono's winforms allows you run existing winforms apps without single line change or even without recompiling (just replace related System.Windows.* assembies)

Nope. The ui framework doesnt support linux at all. None of its cross platform claases and enums have linux. Its stupid because .net and aspcore just work on linux…
Android, iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and Windows
Everything but Linux, that’s funny.
I look at MAUI a year or so ago and IIRC, “official” Linux support was made by the community.
