Uno Platform VS Avalonia

The upcoming Microsoft MAUI is cross-platform (no, Microsoft isn't building support for Linux, but there are open source efforts working on it.)

You can use https://avaloniaui.net or https://platform.uno

> Graphical tooling to deal with process dumps, etw data, and profiler information only available on VS.

You can use JetBrains rider to profile in Linux/MacOS as well: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/rider/Profiling_Applications....

If you don't want to use .NET, you obviously don't have to.

Hey Bocephis, glad to see you were able to figure it out and thanks for posting the resolution. For future reference, you can also ask your questions and any other general question on our community discord channel. Our complete engineering team is there. In addition, our engineering team monitors our GitHub Discussions as well.

The final option is the UNO Platform. Here you have ONE codebase and your stuff will run on the web, as an app, desktop application.

Uno Platform (3rd party framework).

I think you are looking for this: https://platform.uno/

Agree with sibling comment - the JS ecosystem has a huge momentum behind it and probably isn't going away anytime soon.

On the web, Wasm has currently found the most success with compute-intensive applications, since the JS Wasm bridge is still pretty expensive. There are already some Wasm-based frameworks like https://platform.uno/ that work on the web, but things like React/React-native and Flutter have a huge head start.

Are you asking whether there are alternative UI frameworks? If so, yes. You can use Avalonia or Uno Platform, which are cross-platform UI frameworks.

For #3 - you are likely running into a Visual Studio issues listed here. https://github.com/unoplatform/uno/issues/982 . Some troubleshooting steps to work around them are at www.platform.uno/troubleshooting

u/evolution2015 - You have a better chance of getting a complete answer at Uno Platform GitHub discussions or for more chat-like troubleshooting, you can try our Discord - #uno-platform channel. Both have our engineering team monitoring discussions. You can simply just copy/paste your post from here and someone from the team will answer you.

Unlike other solutions like Uno Platform that also target Linux (as a Skia backend) and browsers (using WebAssembly), you can utilize MAUI and Blazor to target browsers. Not sure if there is a solution in the works to target Linux at all for MAUI.

If you're ok with electron's size, then you could look at dotnet + avaloniaui. WPF-like and very portable, desktop and mobile. http://avaloniaui.net/

I'm mentioning the size because dotnet itself will take some space unless some other app already installed it.

There's also Avalonia as an alternative. That is if you need to go cross-platform at all. http://avaloniaui.net/

desktop (AvaloniaUI + upcoming MAUI – official multiplatform GUI framework),

Take a look at Avalonia https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia

I'll throw out Avalonia for a cross-platform .NET UI framework to consider. It considers itself a "spiritual successor to WPF;" in my opinion, it's got a pretty modern feel, and looks—for the most part—the same on Linux & Windows (I don't have a Mac computer, so I can't comment on OSX.) It's still pretty new though, so there's not much info on it—besides the documentation and simply sifting through the code—like there would be with older frameworks.

Also, If they do use frameworks like the ones mentioned above they will still only release the app for mobile and then rebuild the code for a webapp which is slower and does not have the functionality.

If you want to try a third-party platform, I recommend Avalonia, which is cross-platform if you want to develop your desktop app for Mac OS computers, too.

On the other hand, I already use AvaloniaUI for some simple projects and it worked just great. The community is very active and it won't die anytime soon. And you can build cross-platform applications.
