If you were going to build a cross plat app in 2022 from scratch which would you pick architecturally speaking
There is no coincidence that JetBrains is starting using Avalonia in dotTrace and dotMemory products because they have plans to port them to the MacOS and Linux. Xamarin.Forms/MAUI doesn't officially support Linux and MacOS support is abysmal (right know but it's improving and there is Linux community support that began lately). Also Mailbird is building theirs next email client using Avalonia.

.NET MAUI: .NET Multi-Platform App UI
How likely will it be that F# is supported out of the box?
I understand that this is a push for mobile but hopefully a linux support will be considered.

AvaloniaUI: Create Multi-Platform Apps with .NET
WPF and Xamarin dev here who wrote a new (not ported) codebase on Avalonia.
- Avalonia has a guide just for people like you and me [1].
- Avalonia's flavor of XAML has small divergences from WPF that will have you hitting their docs often. There are some nice quality-of-life improvements, for example you can bind a Button click handler directly to a method without ICommand. The major concepts are the same e.g. data binding, dependency properties.
- Coming from WPF, it's possible you've used MVVM and dependency injection. You'd be going against a strong cultural grain to not use them in Avalonia. But I would be surprised if your WinForms app is architected remotely similarly, so it may be a design challenge extracting coherent ViewModels and properties from the ball of mud that many WinForms apps become.
- For macOS, read up on notarization [2] and, if you're publishing to the Mac App Store, the review process.
- I recommend starting with example apps (look in the Showcase) or with the Avalonia template solution which just runs out of the box.
- The Avalonia team iterates quickly. Expect to upgrade NuGets frequently, and don't get too far behind. There was recently a big jump from version 10 to 11. Good for you for starting after that.
- Not Avalonia specifically but if you're not used to .NET Core check out #nullable enable. Can't live without it now, but was confusing at first.
- Be sure to check out all of the official and community libraries [3]. I bet my design big on `ReactiveUI` and it's gone well.

So Xamarin.Forms is close to end of support, while MAUI is not really production ready, what shall I do?
I hear you. We’ve a decent datagrid and a load of OSS components that you can find here.

Modded games are the true last hurdle for Linux gaming
You could use Avalonia. This is xaml crossplatform and will be better supported than wpf. You can get the templates for dotnet new Avalonia. It's xaml, fast templates and there is a designer op github, can't fidn it atm. Some examples
