The Two Factions of C++
Cppwinrt is in maintenance mode[1]. Cppwin32 is abandoned (with windows.h as the official alternative). It is now possible to deploy WinUI 3 apps as single files in C#[2] but not in C++. From experience, the entire C++ side of WinUI 3 documentation is underbaked to the extent that the easiest road is to read the C# documentation and attempt to guess the cppwinrt equivalent (as docs for cppwinrt are not really... there).
I don’t know if they’ve really abandoned C++ entirely—the compiler team certainly hasn’t, that’s true. But the above doesn’t feel like first-class support.

Writing GUI apps for Windows is painful

And then compare with Project Reunion vision from 2021, and where we are three years later
https://blogs.windows.com/windowsdeveloper/2021/03/29/announ...
Mainly because along the way, as if those changes weren't enough, they also decided to reboot their initial approach with Project Reunion, WinAppSDK took another route, and here we are.
This is only a short overview of how WinRT went down since Windows 8, thus only those that never advocated for it, can honestly suggest WinUI, as they lack the background of how chaotic it all is.

All Windows OSs type programs on Wine
Windows Runtime (WinRT) seems to be something they are working on. From what I could read are there a bunch of stuff needed apart from just a development library. I guess you meant this: https://github.com/microsoft/cppwinrt

C++20 Modules are now supported In CLion!
Yeah, I closed it because it didn't seem to be taken into consideration, as later proven by https://github.com/microsoft/cppwinrt/issues/1123

- I can't make up my mind what C++ GUI framework to use. It needs to be very fast in updating the constant data stream I am displaying.

Writing GUI apps for Windows is painful
I've used FLTK for an application. It relies heavily on opaque pointers and convention. The compiler will not help you out if you mess up.
