Is it possible to make desktop app gui's with just C#?
Yes, you can use Eto.Forms. There is also Windows Forms (with WYSIWYG editor).

How do you format applications using UI engines like Eto
Look at the Wiki: Containers

Windows Central: "Microsoft to merge Surface Pro X ARM and Surface Pro 9 Intel versions under one product line"
To move on to GUI dev, there's the Qt Framework, Eto.forms for C#; Rust has the ImGui wrapper for the C++ Dear ImGui library.
- Cross platform gui frameworks that aren't xaml-based?

What's New in Final RC for .NET 8, .NET MAUI, Asp.net Core and EF8
While this is the quite endorsed by the community: https://github.com/dotnet/maui/discussions/339
I think the fundamental issue is that desktop Linux is way too fragmented. Not only just GTK2/3 and Qt but you have GNOME, KDE, XFCE, Cinnamon and then you have X11, Xorg, Wayland...
To be honest, all those craps are why desktop Linux never took off. I'm very safe to say MAUI for Linux will eventually renders components off its own using framebuffer and hardware acceleration APIs such as OpenGL or Vulkan just because of the market fragmentations...
If desktop Linux truly wants to get the attention, it will need to unify. Fixing dependency hell using Flatpak is the right direction.
There is an existing old fork of MAUI for Linux that uses GTK: https://github.com/jsuarezruiz/maui-linux

Tauri Mobile – Develop Mobile Apps with JavaScript and Rust
There is work being done to address desktop linux, but I agree that is one of the deficiencies.
https://github.com/jsuarezruiz/maui-linux/pull/37
The lack of a WASM target is another, although UNO project in the past provided such a target for MAUI's very closely-related predecessor (Xamarin.Forms).

Announcing .NET 7 Release Candidate 1
That's more on the fact that there's no official set of native UI in Linux since MAUI uses the platform's native UI instead of drawing everything themselves like Flutter, there have been some community works around this via this repo using GTK as the native UI to target. This is the same case for say React Native where most Linux implementation will likely use Electron as a shell since there's no standard set of platform UI components to choose.

"Microsoft and Canonical announce native .NET availability in Ubuntu 22.04 hosts and containers" – yeah, very nice, but there's still no cross-platform way to build graphical .NET apps, right?
There's even a senior engineer at Microsoft who's done some exploratory work on Linux bindings already: https://github.com/jsuarezruiz/maui-linux
- Will we ever get a new CLR language to replace C# Like Kotlin did for Java?

Dont u just love ur job as a dev in c#

What options exist for creating (simple) GUI applications on Linux?
The applications I'm trying to make all require relatively simple GUI, only needing images, text-boxes, buttons, and basic configuration menus. I have heard of maui-linux however I'm very new to all of this and not sure how to make use of it at all.
- How quickly and efficiently do you believe Linux will get support for MAUI apps?

Introducing .NET MAUI – One Codebase, Many Platforms
Kudos to Microsoft and the teams (.Net, etc.) that made this possible! This is really big! What's the team's plan to extend MAUI to Linux? This is key, considering it was the platform that set the cross-platform (xPlat) .Net in motion, where Mono, MonoDevelop (now Visual Studio for Mac), among others, were bred. For example, is it possible to officially support an MAUI implementation for Linux modelled around Gtk? Like what has already been started here? Linux had so much love during the Mono/Xamarin days and has continued to enjoy same as .Net Core (now .Net all across) matures into being genuinely cross-platform. Linux's support will really be a game-changer! MAUI will then be "One Codebase, Many Platforms", indeed! Thanks once again for all the work on MAUI. It's awesome!
