Ow wow. Since you are a bit in the know, do you think wpf might start a new life on Linux as it gets opened? Xaml wasn't bad.

- cjbgkagh 4y agoI’d like to see it get merged into AvaloniaUI which is already cross platform and built by smart people with experience.
- pjmlp 4y agoBesides Avalonia, there is Uno as well. The difference being Avalonia uses WPF XAML, whereas Uno uses UWP/WinUI XAML. However they are community projects. From Microsoft, maybe MAUI one day gets to support Linux, which again, uses its own XAML flavour due to its Xamarin origins.
- exceptione 4y agoThank you. I get the feeling that MS is not too interested in the desktop at all though. I can see the money is in the cloud and I don't complain from my KDE desktop, but from a distance it looks quite radical to see them throw their crown jewels into the river.

That said, They over-compensated for over-focusing on desktop pre 2012ish. And now, they are acting completely silly in regards to MAUI (supporting Windows, Android, iOS, macOS, but -not- linux)
