What's New in Final RC for .NET 8, .NET MAUI, Asp.net Core and EF8

1. Introducing .NET Multi-platform App UI (MAUI)

   1 278 22,671 9.9 C#

   .NET MAUI is the .NET Multi-platform App UI, a framework for building native device applications spanning mobile, tablet, and desktop.

   I think the fundamental issue is that desktop Linux is way too fragmented. Not only just GTK2/3 and Qt but you have GNOME, KDE, XFCE, Cinnamon and then you have X11, Xorg, Wayland...

   To be honest, all those craps are why desktop Linux never took off. I'm very safe to say MAUI for Linux will eventually renders components off its own using framebuffer and hardware acceleration APIs such as OpenGL or Vulkan just because of the market fragmentations...

   If desktop Linux truly wants to get the attention, it will need to unify. Fixing dependency hell using Flatpak is the right direction.

   There is an existing old fork of MAUI for Linux that uses GTK: https://github.com/jsuarezruiz/maui-linux
