Does anyone use F# for cross platform desktop app development? What framework do you use?
Is there a platform that you need that's not supported by Fabulous? Most of what you need should be covered by Fabulous.MauiControls.
- Anyone Using Ionic Capacitor for an F# Mobile App?

can I replace c# with f# in everywhere?
Fabulous is actively working on adding a MAUI target. I think this is the most promising way we'll be able to use F# with MAUI as it takes an MVU approach.

Fabulous 2.0 on Windows
2.) If possible, it might be easier to wait for MAUI support in Fabulous 2.0. See https://github.com/fsprojects/Fabulous/issues/747 and/or https://github.com/fsprojects/Fabulous/issues/831.

Hot-reload in Fun.Blazor
But luckily I still remember Fabulous has hot-reload years ago, which is using FSharp.Compiler.PortaCode. So I start to try on that. And it turns out to integrate it is pretty simple.

The search for easier safe systems programming
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
That said, there are cross platform, open source .NET UI frameworks out there, including one that is inspired by WPF:

Industrial Controller? Windows or Linux?
You might also want to look at AvaloniaUI[0] for a cross platform .NET GUI library. It is similar to WPF but much nicer to work with.

AvaloniaUI: Create Multi-Platform Apps with .NET
Production user here. There's no money gotchas. They're above reproach. In fact, I've received considerable free support from their devs on GitHub Issues [1].
The Avalonia business model is based on selling XPF, which runs WPF (Windows-only) apps on other platforms. That's very interesting to big corps with existing codebases.
See my comment [2]

.NET on Linux: What a Contrast
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/

Ask HN: Do you have a problem you'd pay to have taken away?
Not my comment, but relevant here "The problem with compiling Skia to WASM is you'll lose any benefits of hardware graphics acceleration on the device."

.NET 8 – .NET Blog
It's a bit of a hit and miss as of today. CLI, back-end and natively compiled libraries (think dll/so/dylib or even .lib/.a - you can statically link NAOT binaries into other "unmanaged" code) work best, GUI - requires more work.
Avalonia[0] and MAUI[1] have known working templates with it, but YMMV.
