Should I start migrating my Xamarin app to MAUI

Best Way to Call API on a Scheduled Cadence?
I read that Broadcast Receiver is no longer guarenteed to trigger on exact times. Which doesn't really matter for my purpose, but seemed to me to be an indication that this wasn't quite what I was looking for.

Linux or Windows for .net development?
Since .net core came out it's possible to run and write .net code in all platforms. In your experience what is the best when it comes to development experience and resources consumption? I recently moved to Linux Mint as my daily driver and felt that .net on Windows just works better, even with Rider. I struggled with an issue "Platform not supported exception" when trying to connect with the database using EF Core and NET 6.0. A lot of issues about this matter were opened on GitHub and closed without a proper resolution and the Microsoft teams seems to not give a shit about that, most workaround came from the user's who took their time to investigate the issue.

On another note: one of the goals of Tankman is to compile with Native AOT once .Net 8 is out. The EF Core team is working on making it compatible - https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/29754
