How about Avalonia. https://avaloniaui.net/ The assertion that there are no .NET core GUI frameworks and that resorting to the abomination that is electron is the solution is just false.

Or go full functional with an Elmish architecture using F#, .net core and Avalonia.

F# is a niche language among .NET developers, because adopting it closes the doors to lots of enterprise tooling (including Visual Studio designers), that only consider VB.NET and C#

Visual Studio designers are an abomination. Once beyond anything trivial it is slow and buggy and a pain. Look at FUNC.UI https://github.com/FuncUI/Avalonia.FuncUI to see how code only UIs could look.

I know how code only UIs could work, I've been doing UIs since Turbo Vison for MS-DOS, and lost count how many toolkits I have used since then.

No designer, I get to move into something else.

The Web being the exception here, as it keeps rebooting itself without ever learning from native toolkits.
