Well, this is quite unfortunate but turns out our conversation was a pure waste of time. GUI and GUI-adjacent applications isn't even an area where C#/.NET is the strongest, unlike back-end applications. I'm also not sure why do you want to use Native AOT with ASP.NET Core and EF Core, which are getting improved support lately, but there are specific scenarios where you may want that and long-running back-end services isn't one of them. But the general message isn't new, I see it from time to time with developers whose experience has been predominantly shaped by working only within Windows ecosystem, and although your case appears to be different, the sentiment is the same. Maybe try enjoying the programming a little bit more by changing up the tools and environment?
