A number of customers are leaving Windows for Linux ahead of Windows 11. To support them, we had to offer a linux equivalent for a bunch of C# .NET desktop apps.
After evaluating a lot of options, pyQT + nuitka gave a reliable cross-platform result (can target distros based on Debian and Enterprise Linux easily.) And we are still able to target Windows for the customers that remain there.
- neonsunset 1y agoAvalonia would have been a far, far better option.
- elevation 1y agoWe evaluated a ton of options, I'm not sure how Avalonia didn't make the list. Thanks for the tip!
- neonsunset 1y agoPerhaps wasn't available at the time? It has remained relatively little known to teams that lived comfortably within WPF for years, luckily it's changing. .NET's GUI situation is a mess but Avalonia and Uno make it quite saner.
