At our research chair (https://mnm-team.org) we used QuIDE (https://quide.eu) quite a lot to try out quantum circuits and teach quantum computing to our students. As many of us were not using Windows that was kind of annoying, because it was only running on Windows. So one of our students refactored QuIDE for Windows (https://quide.eu) together with us with Avalonia UI (https://avaloniaui.net/) for cross platform... - Source: Hacker News / 7 days ago

WPF is not the best example of open source, as some components are still closed source. Though it only runs on Windows, a closed source operating system, so perhaps that is not so important. https://github.com/dotnet/wpf/issues/2554. - Source: Hacker News / 30 days ago
Yes, but the portable GUI frameworks by Microsoft themselves are generally not very good, and they tend to be abandoned after a couple of years. Avalonia is developed outside of the Microsoft corporate madness and seems to be slowly becoming the defacto cross-platform framework because it is expected to last a bit longer than a manager's attention span: https://avaloniaui.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
You should be able to use Avalonia[1] as an alternative GUI layer on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS and Android. There is a beautiful Avalonia.FuncUI[2] and Avalonia.FuncUI.Elmish[3] which is an implementation of Elmish[4] (based of the Elm language[4]) for F#.

To bad Microsoft refuse to work on proper cross platform WPF support. I've tried Avalonia UI[0], but it's just not the same. For instance the lack of a proper out-of-the-box virtualized list. [0] https://avaloniaui.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
For desktop, Avalonia, hands down. https://avaloniaui.net/ Open source, powered by Skia, backed by JetBrains, and quite battle-tested at this point for small to medium-sized apps. In theory perfectly capable for enterprise as well, since it's basically a spiritual successor to WPF, which has been an industry standard for about 15 years. They're diving into mobile and WASM well, but that's more of a recent effort... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

My understanding is that most of the new generation of GUI frameworks/application runtime are targeting all platforms. And there's clearly a demand for such feature set if the popularity of Electron says anything. Software businesses no longer want to specialize on specific platforms. What's more, it's provably[0] doable[1] to[2] do[3] so[4]. So, why shouldn't they?- Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago[0]: https://avaloniaui.net/.
I was going to ask if you had considered Avalonia for UI but it looks like you're using third party controls that might make porting difficult. The primary advantage would be Linux and Mac compatibility but it looks like quite a job. Source: 11 months ago
Look at AvaloniaUI, it’s .NET and basically an open source, cross platform WPF: https://avaloniaui.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago
I would look into https://avaloniaui.net/. Source: about 1 year ago
You could also look at the Avalonia framework, which uses C#. Not sure what the performance is though. JavaFX is also an option, but it produces a significantly larger program due to the need to bundle a JRE (JPackage can do it all for you). Source: about 1 year ago
I'll counter with Avalonia https://avaloniaui.net/ It's likely easier if you assume the same starting skill level since dotnet build system is way simpler to deal with. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

Yeah, Blazor development in Rider is really nice IMO. Haven't used MAUI, since that looks to be still in beta. If I ever need to develop a cross platform app in the near future, I'll probably go with Avalonia. Source: about 1 year ago
And there are 3rd-party frameworks like Avalonia, which looks to be similar to WPF (I've never tried it). Source: about 1 year ago
Obviously I’m biased but I’d suggest checking out Avalonia UI if you’ve already got experience with WPF. Source: about 1 year ago
