RadeonSoftwareSlimmer VS Avalonia

I also used radeonsoftwareslimmer from here https://github.com/GSDragoon/RadeonSoftwareSlimmer

I'm like 90% sure you can turn it off with this open source tool, which is probably of interest to you anyway if you care this much about dumb extra crap your AMD services are doing.

Nope. Currently I just abandon the control panel altogether by slimming the installer with Radeon Slimmer and utilizing Afterburner for my OC needs and Game Bar for screen/video capture.

Manually editing xml/ini files and/or using 3rd party programs do the trick, see AMD Radeon Software Customize Setup and/or Radeon Software Slimmer.

Yeah the software to control it is but the underlying driver is in the Radeon adrenaline software. Download a copy of the current adrenaline driver, and open it in Radeon software slimmer and you’ll see it in there

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.

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.

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/

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."

(From https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/discussions/6831#disc... )

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.

For desktop, Avalonia, hands down.

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 and I haven't tested that yet.
