  • Qml.Net

    Qml.Net - Qt/QML integration/support for .NET

    Since you're specifically looking for a replacement for a desktop UI framework, I would look into QML.Net. It works across Windows and Linux (and even MacOS X) by using the Qt framework under the hood.

  • Silk.NET

    The high-speed OpenGL, OpenCL, OpenAL, OpenXR, GLFW, SDL, Vulkan, Assimp, WebGPU, and DirectX bindings library your mother warned you about.

    If you're working on a game (which your post seems to suggest), you might try Silk.NET. It supports all of the common accelerated game frameworks. It's more of an OpenGL/DirectX-style replacement, rather than a desktop UI replacement, though.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
